I wouldn't go for that, because of deleting/inserting hazard (headache ?).
I guess that PalmOS a kind od a link list, so that when you insert/delete
the record, it just updates the link list, but not records themselves.
Changing record contents will result in a huge overhead. I you tried editing
an MS Word 2000 document with 30 pages or more and some graphic objects, you
understand what I mean (well, this is MS after all, yours should be much
better).
