Look for HwrBacklight() in hardware.h.

EvtGetPenBtnList returns an array of rects pointing to the 4
locations of the silk screen area. (There might be more on the
Japanese Workpad.) I think the order goes: Apps, Menu, Calc,
Find (I may be wrong). A better alternative might be to use
EvtProcessSoftKeyStroke.

You can copy the .prc into the user's Install directory, then
flip a registry bit. I tried an instal as a test, and the
"Install25231" key was added to the
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\HotSync
Manager]
branch and set to "00000001". YMMV; your branch may also be
...3Com\Palm Desktop\
instead.
