1) get a pointer to the database record and cast it to the proper struct:
ptr = (StructPtr) DmGetRecord (DmRef, RecNr);
2) display data
however the struct you described above is unusable to store / retrieve strings to /
from a Palm DB
you store the addresses of the data to the DB, not the data themselves. and this
addresses will surely be invalid next time you read them from the DB.
structs are good to store fixed size data (like INT16, UINT32, ...) to a DB, but not
for saving strings of variable length.
