I asked about how to set the focus and get the cursor blinking.

This didn't work. Through lots of experimentation, the only
order I found that works is:
1) Set the field contents
2) Draw the form
3) Set the focus
I.e.:
FldSetTextHandle(pField, nameH);
FrmDrawForm(frm);
FldSetInsPtPosition(pField, 0);
FrmSetFocus(frm, FrmGetObjectIndex (frm, objID) );
Putting the FrmDrawForm before the FldSetTextHandle or after the
FrmSetFocus seems to not work.
Here is a related question: I allocate some memory for the field
handle. When should I release it or is this handled
automatically?
nameH = MemHandleNew(stringMaxLen + 1); // ** WHEN deallocate THIS
nameP = MemHandleLock(nameH);
StrCopy(nameP, oldstr);
MemHandleUnlock(nameH);
FldSetTextHandle(pField, nameH);
...
Thanks,
