Thanks. Perhaps I did not formulate the question clear enough:
How can we find the NVFS equivalent for say "Net Prefs"? I mean without
traversing the /PALM_DM directory.
It looks like the number suffix is the uppercase mask for non-mangled name.
(This came to our minds after reading your answer.)
Nevertheless, we are about to change the program logic anyway as it seems to
be risky to rely on any naming conventions that seem to be changing in time.
Best regards,
Jan Slodicka
