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... Tam Hanna
