A while ago I read somewhere that the HotSync application uses two tasks to
provide the ability to respond to a cancel button.  I have no idea how to do
this and I don't know where to get the source to HotSync, but I'm certain I
read this in a PalmOS manual.. I just can't seem to find the reference.  I
thought it was in the communications section but no luck yet.
