There are probably several ways to do this, but what I did was to handle the
pendown event and use an algorithm I wrote that took the x & y position of
the stylus to figure out which table cell the user tapped on. Then I
displayed the contents of the cell in a form field.
Basically, if you handle the pendown event in your form event handler and
return "true" to the main event loop, you will be able to prevent PalmOS
from highlighting the cell.
