I always was under the impression that flash memory is part of RAM? please
correct me. I tried to search for anything on flash memory on the palmOS
website, no luck, any documents or manuals around I can read about this?

about the locking of application. does that mean there is no way this can be
done reliably, or at least more secure than the basic security bit in
codewarriour?

thanks for your help!
