I bound my application to hard button 1. The application starts when the
button is pressed on both the emulator and the Palm device.
During sysAppLaunchCmdSystemReset, I enqueue a keyDownEvent (I also tried
enqueing an appStopEvent, then a keyDownEvent). I assign ownership of the
pointer(s) to the system. I still get writing to NULL memory errors. I
will try setting an alarm.
Any ideas or explanation of what occurs during reset would be appreciated.
Incidentally, after reset, hard button 1 is mapped back to the calendar on
the Palm device. It remains mapped to my app on the emulator.
TIA,
Steve
