A "record" is merely a number of bytes, which the Palm stores in a protected
area. The bytes can contain any data you want. For example:
typedef struct {
Char code[32];
Char description[32];
FlpCompDouble price;
FlpCompDouble taxRate;
} ItemType;
The record is of size sizeof(ItemType), and contaqins whatever you feel
like. (Here, two "strings" amd two doubles.)
If this doesn't help, please post a (small) sample of your code, so I can
get a better idea of what you are stuck with.
