FrmDoDialog and FrmAlert will both return, regardless of whether the user
presses on a dialog button or presses a hardware button to launch another
application. As far as your application is concerned, in the latter case,
FrmDoDialog or FrmAlert will return a button-press value of the default
button ID, as specified in the form resource.
Then, when your application returns to the main event loop, it'll find an
appStopEvent sitting in the event queue.
The Palm OS will *never* quit your application (unless you consider a reset
a quit). It always requests a quit with an appStopEvent, and waits for your
application to return from its PilotMain.
