visit the Palm website (www.palm.com/devzone) and download the SDK
documentation (it's free).
also, the prototypes for all Field-related functions are in Field.h in your
Metrowerks\CodeWarrior\Palm OS Support\Incs\UI directory (the Palm headers
are all under Incs\). try reading the SDK docs, and look at the Field.h
header file for info on how to use FldRedrawField.
