Hi, sorry for not stating clearly that I already know the commercial application that I want switch On/Off. I have it installed on the Palm.
I used FileZ and found a crID, so hope I can use it.


Yes, you should go ahead and use that crID. That, along with the database name (NOT the icon name), should be the most unique identifiers for the application.

Also cardNo and dbID are available in FileZ

The cardNo will, almost always, be 0, and the dbID may change as you install/reinstall apps, so you can't use those to uniquely idenify the app. Just use the crID that you already know and it should be fine. Your only problem would happen if the developer of that app decides to change the crID in the future, but that usually means that it is a brand new app, so you would just add support for that additional app as well, if /when the time comes.
