How would I know? The documentation doesn't say... Besides, I tested it under 
OS 5.x with the simulator; at least there the MIME type registration ought to 
have been sufficient, if I have understood the hints in the documentation 
correctly... OK, let me try it with "prc"... Nope, that didn't work, either.

Actually, the example in the documentation is in upper case:

although it talks about TXT/DOC - not about PRC.

I don't know; I'm not handling this launch code - only 
sysAppLaunchCmdExgReceiveData. OK, let me check... Nope, I don't get 
sysAppLaunchCmdExgAskUser. It means that I haven't managed to register for 
receiving of applications - not that I am somehow not receiving them correctly.

Do you mean that you have ever managed to successfully receive with your 
application an application beamed to the device on which your application was 
running? Or was it for another kind of databases?

At this point I'm starting to wonder whether the interception of beaming of 
applications is possible at all... Maybe the OS is sending them to the launcher 
in a way that cannot be intercepted by another application... I've looked at a 
few custom launchers - but there is no way to figure out whether they are 
receiving the beamed applications or whether it's the original launcher.
