Switching from one form to another is a kinda fundamental thing in Palm
programming. Have you seen the "Palm Programming - The Developer's
Guide" book that is online at the Palm Developer Zone? It explains the
use of FrmGotoForm and FrmPopupForm. If you want text to appear in a
field as soon as the form opens, you have to do that in the form's
event handler, in the frmOpenEvent case.

All resources have a numeric ID, that you assign. You've probably given
that number a name (sorry, I'm not familiar with the way this is done
with CodeWarrior). To get a pointer to a resource that is on a form,
first you need a pointer to the form. If the resource is on the form
that happens to be active, and the resource happens to be a field:
FormPtr form;
FieldPtr fld;
form = FrmGetActiveForm();
fld = FrmGetObjectPtr(form, FrmGetObjectIndex(form, RESID));
