That did it. My frmOpenEvent handler now looks like this:
case frmOpenEvent: { // The form was told to open,
initialize it
Word listIndex;
ListPtr list;
// set things up (list draw callback, etc.)
MyFormInit();
// draw
frm = FrmGetActiveForm ();
FrmDrawForm (frm);
// redraw list to get rid of initial highlighting
problem
listIndex = FrmGetObjectIndex(frm, MyFormMainList);
list = FrmGetObjectPtr(frm, listIndex);
LstEraseList(list);
LstDrawList(list);
} break;
