This leaves out details necessary to answer the question.  Do you want
to allow users of your app to view *any* images they have on their
handheld?  If so, this is a difficult problem because you have no
control over how those images are stored on the handheld.  Palm Powered
devices do not enforce any particular structure on the contents of a
database -- it is simply a collection of records, each record can
contain up to about 64K bytes, and the bytes can be anything you want
to put there.  So the images that a person has on their handheld might
be stored as 'Tbmp' resources, or any other format the author chose.

If, OTOH, you mean you want your users to be able to view all images
that have been stored on the handheld by a specific program, or in a
specific format, then it might be possible to give you some help.

Regardless of whether or not you consider it to be a development
question, the answer I gave is correct: search for "view picture" at
PalmGear or Handango and you will find apps that display pictures. 
Whether or not they do just what you want, I don't know.

I answered the question because I had information that I thought would
help you.  Apparently, I was mistaken.
