I hate to ask a question that is so newbie it makes me look green as hell,
but I have been wondering and since Ben mentioned it in his posting, I will
dare to ask.
What is your exact meaning when you say:
> 3) We're a little dogmatic on some parts of the Palm philosophy,

Is an Exit button, not a good thing? Coming from a Windows background I put
exit buttons on everything, and was looking for a way to put them on my palm
apps as well. Unless it is unneeded, can you elaborate?
