Plug-in applications
You can create a plug-in application containing script commands that extends the
functionality of your handheld’s built-in script command. A plug-in application is a
standard prc application that you install on your handheld just like any other
application. After you install the plug-in application, you can use the new script
commands in a login script.
Plug-in applications have the following characteristics:
• Written in C language
• Compiled into a device executable
• Called properly from a login script
• Able to return control to a login script after it terminates
• Created using a development environment that supports Palm OS software,
such as Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Palm Platform
