Probably not necessary.  There are three different kinds of 
reset on PalmOS machines:

1) Hot reset.  Just push the reset.  This preserves all your
data and calls all your apps after starting (that's why, for
instance, you will see HackMaster or McPhling pop up and ask
about reenabling).

2) Warm reset.  Hold pageup while pressing reset.  This preserves
all your data but does NOT call all your apps.  This is useful
for getting rid of a problem app.  Warm reset, delete the app,
then hot reset.

3) Cold reset.  Hold power while pressing reset.  You will get a 
final prompt and then your data will be erased.  The device is 
then as if it was fresh from the factory.


I suspect a warm reset would have enabled you to get rid of the 
DB-mid program without losing the contents of your device.
