Then, you can use SysAppLaunch or SysUIAppSwitch to switch to the other apps, depending on whether you want to launch the sub-app as a subroutine or as a full app, complete with its own globals. Note: Several small apps will actually be slightly bigger than one large app, unless you mean that users probably won't install all of them on the same device and will save space by not installing the parts they don't want. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
