Just food for thought, but I was wondering how a "keyboard" application
works. For instance, if you go buy the palm folding keyboard, or the go-type
keyboard, they both ship with PRC files for you to execute and basically
click on a checkbox saying "enable keyboard".

I can understand that the keyboard sends data via the serial port, but how
does this data get received? The palm OS is single threaded, so there can be
no "SerReceive()" loop waiting for these keystrokes. Yet all applications
can then accept input from the keyboard. I was just curious to see if anyone
had an idea of how this works? Notifications? System events?

I'd appreciate all thoughts. As i believe i'll be head to head with a
similar problem soon...

thanks,
michael
