a login script. 
Plug-in applications have the following characteristics:
nWritten in C language 
nCompiled into a device executable
nCalled properly from a login script
nAble to return control to a login script after it terminates
nCreated using a development environment that supports Palm OS® software, 
such as Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Palm Platform.
