It does. Perhaps the OS handles it internally (unlocking when you return to the event loop or something). > Is there a better reference available than what I'm using?

I'm personally using a combination of the Palm OS Bible, the Palm OS Reference, and ORA's Palm programming book. I've recently run into problems that were caused by sample code in books not being totally correct (not handling specific cases that you'd think would be common), so that's where the reference comes in handy. It was also discovered by trial and error, so that's still a good way to learn. My specific case of the incomplete sample code had to do with NetLibOpen and the sample code I read not handling the netErrAlreadyOpen error code (one of those "not really an error but let's return something different anyway" things). I did the same as the sample and was suddenly getting errors when my program opened the network library when the network connection was already active. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Smith // [EMAIL PROTECTED] // http://www.arthurian.nu/ Software Developer // Gamer // Webmaster // System Administrator Bumper sticker: If you can read this, I can hit my brakes and sue you. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
