Hahhahahahahahahahahaha...  Had a bit too much to drink? :-? :-) :-) This
certainly is *not* documented anywhere and won't be anytime soon I'm sure.
It's something that is really quite hard to do correctly in general.  Palm
Computing has publically stated in the past that they are working on
producing a code library that would allow outside developers to access GEOS
files (and also, of course, Palm's various data files) from outside of GEOS
(e.g., DOS or whatever).  Waiting for them to do the hard work is my
recommendation.

Why?  Besides curiousity that is.  That Forth hacker mentality is showing
through... :-) :-)
