http://www.flippinbits.com/twiki/bin/view/FAQ/OtherHighLevelLanguageSystems One of these languages could help make you productive sooner so that you could learn more about how it all hangs together. There's no sense beating your head against the API if it's just going to confuse. Once you get a better grasp on what you're working with, and what you're trying to do with it, you could always return to trying to do things with C. -Ken -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
