A FormBitmap holds the ID of the BitmapFamily that will "live" in the FormBitmap. The BitmapFamily in turn holds the actual bitmaps, one for each supported color depth. In PilRC you create a BitmapFamily that has a particular ID which gets turned into a PalmOS BitmapFamily resource with the resourceID you choose.
