Correct. Take a look at some of the SDK samples like MemoPad to see how they manage to get by with hardly any dynamic heap allocations at all (I seem to recall that MemoPad allocates only one chunk out of the storage heap, which is used to hold the text of the variable form caption "Memo xx of yy"). > Is dynamic memory faster than storage memory? It's not faster for reading, but it is faster for writing (since writing to the storage heap requires calls to DmWrite and friends). -- Keith -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
