application is currently running or not when alarm is triggered?

This is described in the docs and the samples (address, memo etc). Here is
something paraphrased from another working app:
case sysAppLaunchCmdGoTo:
{
GoToParamsPtr paramsP = (GoToParamsPtr)cmdPBP;
Boolean appNotRunning = (launchFlags & sysAppLaunchFlagNewGlobals) !=
0;
if(appNotRunning) {
// MyApp is NOT the current running app. Our app context
// is not setup.
// Get and modify the preferences and then launch the app.
loadAppPreferences(); // works!
}
// do some stuff to the preferences
if(appNotRunning)
//launch the app
else
FrmGotoForm(...); // assuming that our form looks at preferences
when it is loaded
}
