thanks for the feedback rich (and heather). i realize that i can use
3.5-only APIs and just use the latest CW and Palm OS SDK.

it just seemed to me to be safer to only include the headers for the SDK i
was targeting. that way the compiler would tell me when I was using
functionality not present in the 3.5 version of the OS.

thanks again,
steve
