Well, the address book was written by Palm, and the scanner is from
Symbol. The thing is, data scanned in by the scanner goes into a
structure with a data element, and that data element's string has to
be copied into whatever field that you specify. Thus, you would have
to modify the address book itself. The source code is distributed with
the SDK 3.5, so it's just a matter of adding the symbol calls into the
address book source and if a scan event occurs, copy the data from the
scan structure into the field that has focus.
