The standard naming convention is to append a hyphen and then your creator
ID to the end of your database name.
Note that, although few applications correctlyhandle it, this is true not
only for your record databases (ones your app creates at runtime), but also
for your application's resource database. Thus, in CW PalmRez PostLinker,
you'd need to explicitly set the application database name.
