The way to do graphical buttons pre-3.5 is
1) Use a form bitmap for your graphic
2) Put a button with no text and no border as an overlay over your graphic
The button highlight code will invert the graphic. PalmOS 3.5 and later
know about this trick, so they will also do an invert (which may look funny
on a color application) rather than a redraw with the highlight colors that
is normally done.
