You can't easily do that. The launcher copies the app from the card to 
internal storage, launches it, then deletes it on exit. All of the 
current Palm devices only have one "card" (I think some of the Visors 
may have had a second), so you'll never get anything but 0 for number of 
databases on other cards (besides 0).

You might want to search the archives at: 
<http://www.escribe.com/computing/pcpqa/index.html> for
"card launch" and you'll find a number of references, including:
