Thank you for the snippet. My problem is that my application (device part of
very handy password keeper) opens an encrypted file and loads some data to
application heap memory. It makes sense to close the application when the
device is turned off (for security reasons). If I register notification, I
will of course receive this notification, but I will not be able to notify
"main copy" of my application that it needs to close the database and clear
the memory it allocated. If PalmOS had IPC mechanisms to notify *running*
application, I would be able to send some notification, but as for version
3.5 (or even 4.x, but we support 3.5) there seems to be no such mechanism.

Sincerely yours,
Eugene Mayevski
