Most operating systems have an equivalent.
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.

Memo(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Memo(3pm)
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".
