If you want the app to be non-volatile and run early in the boot sequence, you have to put it into ROM. This works well on a cold boot, but obviously requires a Palm OS unit with flashable ROM. (I suspect you'll need a higher cost unit than the 130, such as one of the 500 series, to get flash memory) Roger Stringer Marietta Systems, Inc. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
