[148] listing at bottom of page:

         foundIt =3D StrCompare(findRecord.lastName, record->lastName) =3D=
=3D 0 &&
         StrCompare(findRecord.firstName, record->firstName);

should be:

      foundIt =3D StrCompare(findRecord.lastName, record->lastName) =3D=3D=
  0 &&
         StrCompare(findRecord.firstName, record->firstName) =3D=3D 0;


{149}  second paragraph;
Text refers to MemHandleSetSize when I can't find this function in the palm
documentation or header files.  It probably should be MemHandleResize
instead.


{278}  SendBody and SendSingleBodyLine code examples;
The Sendmail logic, as published, only handles the first line of a multiple 
line message.

Look in SendBody...
    It loops as long as there are characters in the body AND ***result = 0***
    When it finds a '\n' it sends the buffer off to SendSingleBodyLine
        BUT (looking in SendSingleBodyLine)
	SendSingleBodyLine sends a '1' for success and a '0' for failure. (Using 
the updated code from your web site, the book doesn't even return 1 for 
success...)

So SendSingleBodyLine sends back '1' for success, SendBody sees that as 
failure and only the first line gets send.

My fix was to to have SendSingleBodyLine return 0 for success and 1 for 
failure, then fix the sendmail routine so that the SendBody if statement 
reads...

if (SendBody...)

rather than

if (!SendBody...)
