Morning Alan,
I have been following this thread and would like to help if I can. I am
pretty new to Palm Programming (about 6 months) so I have just recently
encountered many of the Newbie mistakes that drive you nuts. There is
nothing like solving it yourself to teach you a lesson but I think the idea
of a helper pack is great. Let me know if there is something I can do.

Ok then.. How should we get started.. I suggest all ppl interested email me,
and I'll put together a mailing list so we can all start communicating as a
group..
The first thing we need to decide, is what features do we plan to add?
Please feel free to add to this thread with your suggestions everybody!
