Actually, it sounds like you should contact the developer of the
Hebrew support and ask him to publish a FEATURE for this. This type
of 'assurance' is a poster-child for the Feature Mechanism of the
Palm OS. The guy writing the HEBREW support should get together with
all of the other language support authors and decide on a standard
for publishing RTL or TopToBottom or whatever other language systems
may use.
Of course, for now, it sounds like the right-justify bit is the
important one. It also seems completely sufficient for your needs;
even if the app is ENGLISH is seems that your strikethrough wouldn't
work.... and if a field is in another language, your strikethrough
code shouldn't really care. It should just use the Fnt/Fld api's to
walk through characters and underline them. What does it care which
way people read the characters? As long as you know which side to
start from and how long each character is, that's all you should need!
