If you bind the application to one of the "buttons" (I think including
one of the hotsync buttons), you should be able to Queue an event for
that character when you get "reset" so it will be seen when the
prefrences panel comes up. This may not work if the Event queue is
purged.
The alarm won't work directly (since it too is restricted), but could
queue the character.
Another possibility is to call your app (or one that links to it)
"Preferences" (or whatever it is called) assuming that the initial
launch of the Prefs app is done by name and the ram overriding flash
databases still holds.
