The OmniGo and its state files.




Pressing FN+F3 will shut down the currently running
application and force it to save to its state file.

SHIFT+ON+NEXT or pressing the reset button on the back of
the OmniGo will delete all state files and the clipboard
(without deleting the other contents of the RAMdisk).

When the OmniGo is turned off, processing is suspended but
applications are not shut down to state. Power-down and
power-up are basically transparent to applications. On
power-up, MSG_NOTIFY_DATE_TIME_CHANGE is sent over the
GCNSLT_DATE_TIME GCN list.

There are three ways to limit the size of the application's
state file.

1. Completely disable the state file for your application.
Write a handler for MSG_GEN_PROCESS_CREATE_NEW_STATE_FILE
and simply return NullHandle. If your application needs to
save some small amount of information between sessions,
consider saving it in the ini file instead of in a state
file.

2. Marking a resource as notDetachable will prevent objects
in that resource from saving to state.

3. Marking an object ignoreDirty will prevent that object
from saving to state.
