Just handle penDownEvent by calling FrmGotoForm to change to the next
form. Say the penDown is handled, and go on with your program.
If you want to do a timer also to dismiss the form, great. Set a
timeout in EvtGetEvent, then check to see if the required time has
elapsed when you get a nilEvent. If so, FrmGotoForm onward.
