documentation, as everyone knows can be hard to find :) the palmos
documentation has got much better over years - i remember the old
days when we used to grep header files to get info.

are you sure its RAM you need? maybe you only need read only
RAM. you can store information in two ways; one on the dynamic heap
and one on the storage heap. the storage heap - which, is what you
have done right now - can be read without a semaphore. if you want
to write to it, you need a semaphore.

are you sure you cannot isolate the read/write RAM from read/only?

its good to ask, as - it may get archived. but, if you are expecting
answers very quickly; thats another story :) no-one from palmsource
will probably answer you and the number of people who do know
the answer probably want to keep it to themselves.
