Well, after stepping through things in the PalmDebugger in assembly language, it looks
like ExgAccept is doing something I didn't expect. I am setting the Description and
the Type fields in the socket structure when sending the data, and leaving the Name
NULL.
On the receiving end, I am getting a Description, but the Type is NULL, and the name
is Palm.exg. Since the source for ExgLibAccept is not available, it is hard to know
how the exchange manager handles these parameters.
When I do this in loopback mode, I get the Type as expected. I was relying on the Type
field to direct how to receive the beam.
For David or Roger, what is the expected behavior for how the Type and Name fields are
filled in by ExgAccept? Also, how do you send something to another app on the Palm
using the Type field. For example, if you want to send something to another Palm's
Memo Pad, but instead of specifying the Creator as the MemoPad creator, you instead
want to specify the Type as "TXT"?
Thanks,
Shannon
