The Palm OS Window manager assumes that all forms are as wide as the screen
and bottom justified. (It makes managing the clipping area a LOT simpler!)
So, your forms must be as wide as the screen, and must be bottom justified.
If your forms are NOT as wide as the screen and bottom justified, it
actually works pretty well most of the time, but you will run into some odd
refresh problems. This will be really noticeable if some other form
obscures yours and then goes away. (e.g. if a beam is received.)
Even then, mostly this goes unnoticed because of the Palm OS feature where
the bits underneath a popup form are saved and then later restored. This
allows the OS to commonly avoid redrawing windows.
