"...
Which brings me to another question. What IS the best method of
communication between two applications, where you MUST have global space
allocated in each application? One application will call (launch) the
2nd application and get returned data from the 2nd."
If you have the source to both apps:
Suggest you write data to a database with owner ID of one of them.
When the other app starts it can read the database and do what is needed.
This allows you to do a tiny request/reply protocol between the apps that is
commonly found in client/server programming. You could even have history of
your app runs for debugging that had requests in one database and replies in
another or some such.
Using databases to communicate (IPC) between Palm apps avoids all the
problems with shared globals.
