In Windows GUI land it's GetMessage(), in Winsock[2] it's select(), also WaitForMultipleObjects().

Palm programs have a message loop at the heart of any program.

What ever you are doing, do it efficiently, even if you are doing nothing, do nothing as efficiently as possible.

NAME
Palm::Memo - Handler for Palm Memo databases. SYNOPSIS
use Palm::Memo; DESCRIPTION
The Memo PDB handler is a helper class for the Palm::PDB package. It parses Memo databases. AppInfo block The AppInfo block begins with standard category support. See Palm::StdAppInfo for details. Other fields include: $pdb->{appinfo}{sortOrder} I don't know what this is. Sort block $pdb->{sort} This is a scalar, the raw data of the sort block. Records $record = $pdb->{records}[N] $record->{data} A string, the text of the memo. new $pdb = new Palm::Memo; Create a new PDB, initialized with the various Palm::Memo fields and an empty record list. Use this method if you're creating a Memo PDB from scratch. new_Record $record = $pdb->new_Record; Creates a new Memo record, with blank values for all of the fields. "new_Record" does not add the new record to $pdb. For that, you want "$pdb->append_Record". SOURCE CONTROL
