Apologies; I forgot to include their initialization in the sample code I 
posted. But my real code they *are* initialized - and now that I can debug 
volume mounting, I have verified with the debugger that they are indeed 
initialized correctly - so, that's not the problem.

Another thing. The documentation says that "SysUIAppSwitch sends the current 
application an appStopEvent and then starts the specified application.". 
(Surprisingly, this interesting bit of information is in the description of 
SysAppLaunch - *not* in the description of SysUIAppSwitch, sigh.) But, I'm 
calling SysUIAppSwitch from a notification, when no application is displaying 
any user interface yet (that's the whole point - I couldn't make my application 
display its user interface when receiving the notification). It's the 
Launcher's user interface that is being displayed when the notification arrives.

OK, so I tried using SysAppLaunch instead of SysUIAppSwitch. Yes, I know that 
an application launched via SysAppLaunch doesn't have access to its global 
variables - but it doesn't matter to me, because I've rewritten mine not to use 
any global variables. Now, after my application launches itself via 
SysAppLaunch, it *does* receive the custom launch code and starts acting on it, 
as the debugging shows.

Unfortunately, as soon as I enter the event loop, I receive an appStopEvent 
(huh?!), so the loop terminates immediately and my application exits. *After* 
it has exited, I get a crash because of a null pointer reference. :-((

I really don't understand how this OS works. :-((( Can somebody point me to 
some sample code of an application launching itself with a custom launch code? 
When I receive control with the custom launch code from SysAppLaunch, do I have 
to eat events until the first appStopEven and only *then* enter my normal event 
loop??

Vesselin
