Hi Ben,
Thanks for your tips and link!
As I am able to control contents of the webpage, I have put a link on that
page with the following code (as u said in the example
<a href="palm:memo.appl">).
<a href="palm:myapp.appl">Back to App </a>
[I also tried <a href="palm:myapp.prc">Back to App </a>]
And the main function of my app looks like this now,
UInt32 PilotMain(UInt16 cmd, MemPtr cmdPBP, UInt16 launchFlags)
{
Err error;
error = RomVersionCompatible (ourMinVersion, launchFlags);
if (error) return (error);
switch (cmd)
{
case sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch:
error = AppStart();
if (error)
return error;
FrmGotoForm(MainForm);
AppEventLoop();
AppStop();
break;
case sysAppLaunchCmdURLParams:
error = AppStart();
if (error)
return error;
FrmGotoForm(MainForm);
AppEventLoop();
AppStop();
break;
}
As far as I understood, this is all I need to do right!
But when I am launghing the web page and clicking on the above link, nothing
is happening at all :-( !
Can u please guide me more in this direction?
Thanks,
Keyur.

No. In general, Palm OS web browsers don't have an "Exit" feature. The
original Web Clipping software would exit if you hit "back arrow" on the
initial page, but that feature hasn't been adopted by other tools. Most
Palm OS apps don't have an "exit" function. They just run until the OS
tells them to stop, usually as the result of the user telling the device to
switch to another program.
One option, if you control your web content, is to have a link that uses a
palm: URL to relaunch your application. For example, <a
href="palm:memo.appl"> would launch the Memo Pad app. See
http://palmos.combee.net/blog/palmURLSupport.html for more details on some
tests I've recently run.
