I can switch back to the original app and delete it. The problem is that if you close the Big App by starting Another Program (by clicking on a hardware button, for example, or using some program launch hack), after you switch back to the original app and delete the Big App, PalmOS will never open the Another Program.
But I guess that's the only solution. I'm surprised there's no way to axe the built-in launcher app to launch a program on the card, which would presumably take care of the internals of copying the app to internal memory and then deleting it. I'm further surprised that there's no way to tell the PalmOS "when I (a program) quit, delete my .prc". I'm even more surprised how much freeware software is written for the Palm when there seems to be a *lot* of little annoyances like this, i.e., things that should be easy that are not difficult, but actually impossible. Coding in Win32 is about a bazillion times easier. whine... whine... whine "Henk Jonas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:92829@palm-dev-forum... > > It's hard to solve, if the big app isn't yours.
