ok.. see the problem straight away :)

well.. i posted some info about this previously :) what you should have
in test.txt is:
---
DBLKjust contains
this is a test
this is a line two
EOF
---
see the DBLK? thats the block signature :P what you also face here is
that each "test.txt" can be AT MAX 4096 bytes in size. the file
streaming data blocks are 4K in size.
you should then create the database with the file "test.txt" as
a record. for example, i used a util called 'files2pdb', using
the following command:
files2pdb -n "my_filestream" -a 128 -v 1 -t TTTT -c CCCC test.txt
i could be wrong about the attribute.. its been a while :P if you
are interested, i will make the applications that i use (files2pdb
etc available on www.ardiri.com)..
[was away for a few minutes]..
ok.. its available here:
http://www.ardiri.com/index.cfm?redir=palm&cat=devkit&subcat=tools
i didn't write the tools, you can go to Ken Shirrif's home page and
email him if you have problems :P i just use them when i need to :P
enjoy!
