Here we go again..
Before this turns into another "you don't exit an app" war, let me refer
you to the threads that have already taken place on the list dealing with
this topic. Take a look at:
http://www.escribe.com/computing/pcpqa/index.html?by=OneThread&t=Ending%20an%20application
Basically, you don't ever "exit" a Palm app. What happens is that another
one just gets started. As this is happening your StopApplication()
function gets called, then the other app starts. There may be a *rare*
case where it makes sense to exit your app, but it's very unlikely that an
app will actually meet those criteria.
