I've been reworking the database design screen. It will be more like JFile
and MobileDB's screen where all field positions are listed and you just
fill in the ones you want. (Ins and Del buttons would still be there.)

My plan wasn't to have gnome-pilot develop PalmOS apps but rather see if
any people on the list wanted to help in creating a separate project that
would develop open source PalmOS programs. The only reason why I posted
here was that the a) I helped a little with gnumeric and b) gnome-pilot
made me think "hmm ... palm pilot owners who like open source stuff".
