Duh. I should've known. Sorry for the stupid question. Actually, it
turned out that the Creator ID passed to PrefSetAppPreferences was different
than the one for the app, at least for my other apps. It was the same ID
for this particular app. I guess by (mistakenly) making the two values
different with my other apps, I made it so the Prefs were not deleted with
the app.
Thanks for the help,
Mike

That's the way it has always worked for me. If the creatorID passed into
PrefSetAppPreferences is the same as the creatorID of your app, when the app
is deleted, the prefs db is deleted. It works the same way for any other
DBs you create with the same creatorID.
