That's not how the Palm works.  I can only think of a few programs that do
that, such as SuperWaba (which has oodles of other serious problems) and
ZLauncher (for which it makes sense as this allows you to return to the
internal Launcher.)

By looking at just added-on programs (nothing that came with it) on my
Clie (which will give you a sense of what crap I run)...

   Bible+, Pilot-DB, FontsOS5, HandyShopper, KeyQuick, KeyRing, Kinoma,
Plucker (currently), PalmReader, Sony's SilkSample, SMBMate, and
SolFree all are exit-free.  They figure you know how to switch via the
Launcher icon.

   The only currently-installed added software I have that presents an
exit is DreamAway demo, perhaps because it grabs the whole screen.

Put yourself in the mindset of a typical (not us, typical) web-browser
user.  They long ago lost track of where they are exactly in any given
site-tree. But "back" takes them to previous options.  Hit it too often,
nothing happens.  You don't pop out of your browser, you just stop.

And think of how annoyed you'd be if you DID just pop out of your
browser... because now you have to restart it and find and reload those
pages.
