Yes :) here what say palm on http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/emulator/Emulator_Testing.html MemMgr semaphore : Monitors how long the Memory Manager semaphore has been acquired for write access using the MemSemaphoreReserve and MemSemaphoreRelease functions. Your applications should not be calling these functions; however, if you must call them, you should not hold the semaphore for longer than 10 milliseconds. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
