There's no way to totally disable the HOME or FIND buttons, except
for your program to refuse to exit.

You can effectively disable the CALC and the other buttons by
'pointing' them at your application.

The problem with the Ralph's sample code is that is only traps the
use of the HOME button in the main event loop.   Several windows,
such as the Alert window, have their own event loop, so that
when your application is in one of these, the HOME button isn't
trapped.

Now you can recode each one of these, but that would be the hard
way.  The easiest way is to simply prevent your application exiting
unless it knows that it should.

Now I know that Palm OS (r) zealots will oppose this, but the 
uncontrollable ability to jump out of the middle of an application
is a real pain for some customers.
