Creation

When a new computation is started the user must supply a name for the store that will be created. The VM will then create a new PalmOS resource database of type 'appl' and will first copy the contents of the wrapper database (Wrapper.prc) to the beginning of the newly created store.

Then the VM creates a store header record and a first heap record and initializes all fields. These records remain locked allowing the VM to access them directly.
