Ok... I understand that. The question the becomes- is there any UNSUPPORTED
way to do this?
Failing that, is there ANY way to access for read/write 32k of contiguous
data directly? Actually, I can set up 32k of data on the Dynamic Heap using
MemPtrNew on the emulator, but not all Palms have that much dynamic memory
available.
Still crossing my fingers...

Subject: Re: Accessing a resource directly
If you're writing to a database record, you have to use DmWrite (and
company), which handles unlocking/relocking the record and does some
bounds-checking to make sure you don't run off the end of the record. To
protect the user's data, there is no supported way to write directly to the
memory which represents a database record.
