IIRC, you don't get an e-mail confirmation, you know right away whether the creator ID you want to reserve is free or not, and
if free, you just reserve it without any further delay.
Just put your creator ID between '' : 'MyID' to create a 32-bit integer from the 4 characters of your creator ID. If you chose
non-printable characters, use octal: '\115\171\111\104'.
Non-printable characters aren't allowed in Palm OS creator codes -- you need to register four sequential characters in the printable ASCII range (32 to 127), and registering all lower-case characters isn't allowed, as those codes are reserved for PalmSource use.
