keep in mind.. that FrmAlert() ends up calling FrmCustomAlert(), which
ends up calling FrmDoDialog() :) - dig into the sources for palmos
(which you can get via NDA) and extract the little bits of code that
you need to do your own little thing.
the perfect solution would be to have something like this:
FrmAlert(alertID, timeout);
after timeout period, the alert it cancelled. this, could be used in
a splash screen type situation too.. :) not too difficult to write
IMHO. :P time is always the essence :)
