While I said 2 bit I meant 2 color. Pasting from a single-bit image file
doesn't work but pasting from a multi-bit image created the correct
single-bit output. Funny, but it works.

After setting up the C++ example the .txt file spells it out in quite
clear terms; ".. there is no standard library support for C++ on the
PalmPilot at this time.". MSL for Palm Pilot C++ was added in R5, so I
need to upgrade to make use of that.

These steps still give me a linker error on all standard library calls,
such as sprintf(), abs() and the like.

For example my form names start with a lower case letter but in the header
file they become capitalized. The capitalization of the first letter seems
to happen to form names, alert names, menu and menu bar names. All other
types of objects remain in upper/lower case as typed.

I met with some Metrowerks people last week so I know the editor has been
making progress in leaps and bounds. I'm not passing judgement on CW based
on an outdated version, merely pointing out that it *is* outdated. :)
