Hi Guys:

Are you tired of the bland, boring, bold fonted tips dialog which can also be
activated via "void FrmHelp (Word helpMsgId)"? Then create a "myTips" form as
described below in your own application [with EXACTLY the very same ID
numbers, although you can change position and such]. Do a compile job on your
project, install your application, and enjoy. Am I the first one to discover
this? Ain't this great? Is this safe? Any comments?

Best regards, Paul

P.S. The same principle can be applied to many other components of the palm OS.
