I did not implement PalmOS localisation because AFAIK, locale selection is 
based on the device, not on user's preferences (worse when a single device can 
have many users - as is the case in international expeditions.) Auriga is 
available in 3 languages and you can even load the full PRC of your choice 
along with two additional resources PRCs and then switch language on the fly (a 
silent restart then occurs).

Using a string list of alerts, I would first have to copy the text in memory 
with SysStringByIndex before calling FrmCustomAlert.

Using string resources for each alert would mean calling DmGetResource and 
MemHandleLock/Unlock whenever I call FrmCustomAlert.

In either case, aren't the savings in resource header memory compensated by 
additional code?
