As other people have already pointed out, Palm OS does not have any
support for multi threaded applications. There really only is even
one application running at a time. The closest you can get is using
events like sysNotifyIdleTimeEvent to repeatedly receive events from
the OS. However you still need to make sure that the amount of
processing you do each time you receive the event is small so that
you can return control back over to the OS so you can receive another
because the OS isn't going to preempt it. And so on.

Thank for clarification Lynn! I am really confused by previous
answers... and I am looking for an official one. Before asking this
question, I have referred Palm developer guide (the several hundred
page book), but no concrete/detailed answers except some general/
high level answer from beginning part...
What I want to do is to port an application from Windows Mobile to
Palm. I used multi-task technologies in my Windows Mobile
application, and if Palm does not support... I will implement some
native technologies to lock/synchronize processes, for example,
create lock files on SD card.
But if Palm OS 5.2 supports multi-task technology, I will save my
time on implementing this!! :-)
So, any official answers?
regards,
George

This Palm newbie wasn't at all attempting to answer your
question ... just wanted to ask a related question.
