You have to "prepare" the target string before passing it to
TxtFindString. The best way to do this is to call
TxtGluePrepFindString, in the PalmOSGlue library.
Note that when your app receives the sysAppLaunchCmdFind launch
command, the FindParamsType.strToFind field contains the results of
calling TxtPrepFindString with the string entered by the user in the
Find form (the FindParamsType.strAsTyped string).
