Why ask me? Why not look in the manual? [1]
The current implementation puts pointers to the code resources
into the application's global data. This means that you must
not attempt to call a function that is not in the main code
section when globals are not available, e.g., when processing
a launch code that doesn't give you globals.

You *are* using global variables when you call between different code
sections. I thought this was clear; it was certainly clear in my
PalmSource talk; I've changed the above paragraph in the manual to make
it really clear.

there is an equal and opposite `Structured Programming with goto
Statements [globals]' paper"

Also installed when you install prc-tools; just type "info prc-tools"
or look for the .html versions.
