Why can't you manupulate with 'bundled'
flag depending on the level ?

If I use the same creator ID for the pdb and the app,
once the pdb is installed, the launcher will display
only the app, but with the size increased by the
amount of the pdb.  Then, if they beam the app, the
recipient will not receive the pdb, just the app,
which is probably what I want except that it would be
nice if I could just put all the "level info" in the
pdb and not keep any in the app (not even the original
level).  If I could do that, then it should be
possible to replace levels rather than add them,
simply by installing another pdb.  But this has the
problem that anyone buying even the basic version will
have to install 2 files.  You'd think that would be
simple, but my experience over the last 2 years
demonstrates that a surprisingly high percentage of
people who buy simple Palm games can't even figure out
what their HotSync user name is. :(

Thanks for your suggestions.
