Hey Caspar,

You have to use VFS Manager functions to work with the filesystems on
external storage such as SD or MMC cards.

I think it's safe to generalize as such:  Dm* API are blind to anything
you put in the SD slot, and launch codes don't go the anything on the SD
card.

There is a caveat though -- a file on the card named "/PALM/start.prc"
gets copied *temporarily* into main memory on the device, and will thus
get launch codes and can be found with Dm* APIs().  Any PRC or PDB in
"/PALM/Launcher/" directory will show up in the Launcher application in
a special category, and when you tap on one of them, it is also
*temporarily* copied to main memory, and will also get launch codes and
can be found with Dm* APIs().  Unlike Springboard modules, files on
SD/MMC cards are not run in-place; rather, they must be copied to main
memory before they can be executed.
