Here's what I did to find the answer:
1) Think about where the next field stroke is understood, and came up with
the edit form in the address book
2) Look in the examples that come with the SDK to find the corresponding
source code - AddrEdit.c
3) Find the event handling function for this form - EditHandleEvent()
4) Find the keyDownEvent case in this routine
5) Look through all the keys for the previous and next field cases
6) See what the characters are - vchrNextField and vchrPrevField
7) Check the exact conditions under which these characters are handled -
EvtKeydownIsVirtual (event) must return true
The most important step is the first one. Always think about where you've
done something similar to what you want to do when using the Palm's built in
applications. With this context, the source code becomes immensely useful.
