While I don't claim to know anything about the matter, I would like to
point you out to the L0pht web site, specifically at the "Beam Crack"
application L0pht have written.   It unlocks most (some of the system ones
are not unlockable by it or at all) databases on the system, and also has
the ability to lock them all.

BeamCrack is a simple application that will set or reset the bit in each
application's database header which tells the launcher that it should or
shouldn't be beamable, thus bypassing the PalmPilot's infantile
copy-protection. Useful for PalmOS >= 3.0 which support beaming via the
PalmPilot infrared port.
