>>>My guess was they chose to store the information in a GEOS 
VM-File which GEOS can handle much more efficiently.  In fact I 
believe Palm adds their own structure witin the GEOS VM files.  Ascii 
files would probably be a lot less efficient to handle for the Palm 
Applications.<<<

Yes, that's pretty much the whole story -- They're VM files for
