hmmm I couldn't find it in the 2.5 OS ref pdf but I could find reference to globals in the Palm OS Programmer'sCompanion, here it is:
--------- In most cases, when you respond to other launch codes, you are not able to access global variables. Global variables are generally only allocated after an application receives sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch (see Listing 3.2) or sysAppLaunchCmdGoto; so if the application hasn't received either of these launch codes, its global variables are usually not allocated and not accessible. In addition, if the application has multiple code segments, you cannot access code outside of segment 0 (the first segment) if the application has no access to global variables. There is one other case where an application may have access to its global variables (and to code segments other than 0). This is when an application is launched with the code sysAppLaunchCmdURLParams. If this launch code results from a palm URL, then globals are available. If the launch code results from a palmcall URL, then globals are not available. The URL is passed to your application in the launch parameter block. --------- Thanks again for your help...
