Thanks.

I'll check out the post.

Do you mean that when I register for a notification for my app that has a
creator ID of 'Fred' I do this:
SysNotifyRegister(myCardNo, myDbID, 'Fred',
NULL, sysNotifyNormalPriority, NULL);
and then respond to a notificaiton of type 'Fred'?
that sounds a bit odd. I must be missing something here.

Interesting question. I want to see who has an answer for this one.
