PalmOS does not have multitasking, so you cannot do real background tasks. In fact you cannot do more than one task at a time :) If you just want to do some stuff when the Palm is turned on, try the notification manager. If you require to run for a longer time while other programs run, you would either need to check whether the notification manager is suitable, too, or you might have to write a hack (doesn't run under PalmOS 5). What do you wanna do? Regards, Daniel Seifert http://www.dseifert.de -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
