Are you writing this only for yourself?  Or are you planning on releasing
it?  If someone other than yourself is going to be using this software of
yours, then you do not want to force their network connection to close
when you yourself are done with it.

What you're doing (making the 2nd parameter to NetLibClose true) is the
recommended way to do things.  Just let the user close the network
connection when they are done with it, or let Palm OS close it when
nothing has been using it for the specified timeout (there is a preference
for that, too).  If you try to force the network connection to close when
the user doesn't expect it to, then you're only going to annoy people.

What I have done in the past is to give a preference in my app, to let the
user specify what they want to happen.  The choices are: leave the
connection open, close the connection when finished, or prompt the user to
close it or not when finished.  I default to the 3rd choice, so they will
be prompted and later set the behavior as they want it.
