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

commands in a login script.
Plug-in applications have the following characteristics:

such as Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Palm Platform
