Yes, there is: Look at the way the global find feature is implemented for Memo Pad.
You'll see that it ends up receiving a goto launch code when the user taps on a find
result, and this cause the application to go to the appropriate memo and select the
appropriate text. When receiving a memo being beamed from another Palm, this same
launch code is used to automatically go to the new record. You should be able to take
advantage of this. You just need to launch the memo pad application with this launch
code, passing it the appropriate data about the new record.
