Features: good for small amounts of non-permanent data (all features are erased on system reset) and flags. Preferences: better holding spot for small amounts of data that you want kept around after a reset. Unsaved prefs should hold working data, while saved prefs would be user-controlled things that would need to be restored if the user erased his device. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
