What you are correct as it is a basic program to learn the API for Palm (i.e. your "new language"). However, it is not an address book.
I'm in the High School Marching Band and we have to always write down our coordinates for each set of our show (i.e. each position) that we must hit before changing direction or whatever. The sets we must write in a little notebook. there, we write the yard line, number of steps off yard line if applicable, number of steps of front, back sidelines/hashes, number of counts taken to get to that set and "other" info (like markers and such to help out). It sounds kind of useless to anyone else but me (there are, however some people in my band with palm oses), but I think it's a great way for me to learn the API. Thanks for all your help.
