Don't think of it as 'exit', because that's not really the Palm paradigm.
Palm apps don't normally exit, they just run until the user runs something
else. (Why waste UI space making an 'exit' button or 'exit' command when
the launcher button is always available? Use the UI space for something
else and leave the code out entirely, thus simplifying your application!)
If you REALLY want to launch the launcher, you can use SysUIAppSwitch to
launch it directly! PrefGetPreference(prefLauncherAppCreator) will give
you the current launcher app's creator ID, or you can use sysFileCLauncher
for the one in ROM.
Or perhaps you'd be better off enqueueing a vchrLaunch character, to
simulate the user tapping on the launcher button. Then more launcher hacks
might work properly.
