  Doah!  (slapping self on forehead.  Repeatedly.)  OK, color me dense.
Methinks I've been staring at it all too much lately..  Thanks for the idea.
  I can do this as a workaround, but am still curious about how the PalmOS
is going to react to a window being FrmInitForm'd and then FrmDelete'd
without that form ever having a chance to handle events?  Is that going to
cheese the event queue in some esoteric fashion?
