I have been able to extract the following from the  Palm SDK:
Quote from: Dev. Companion 1-the Microkernel:
Usually, the UIAS is the only task running. Occasionally though, an application 
launches another task as a part of its normal operation. One example of this is the 
Sync application, which launches a second task to handle the serial communication with 
the desktop. The Sync application creates a second task dedicated to the serial 
communication and gives this task a lower priority than the main user-interface task. 
The result is optimal performance over the serial port without a delay in response to 
the user-interface controls.
End quote
I am 100% sure that there is a public way to find out about how multitasking works. 
Many apps do it-we have Media Players,.. . Maybe one can ask one of the 
programmers-the MMPlayer guys look o.k. for me. Or-as it says here-the Hotsync app 
will give answer. It must be somewhere in the resource pavillion-anybody checked these 
ROM Sources they provide?
What I really dont understand however: We see that OS1 was multi task-capable. Why 
didnt they release the API? 
Just my two cents...
