Is it a confirmation of my transparent colour 'hypothesis' ? For a modal form, you have a background on your top right, therefore the icon is visible. For a modeless form you have a foreground colour in place where the icon should be.
Assuming that 'I' icon uses transparent colour for background, and white colour for forground, your result fits in very well. If I am right, it is a rather silly PalmOs bug.

There is no complain from the device. The 'i' icon is not drawn. However, if I click on the right-top corner where it is supposed to be, it will show up and the help is displayed. The 'i' will stay after that but without the usual background. I thought there was something wrong with the color cuz I did the debug on a IIIC rom. Later I found out that I cannot use helpstring on that kind of form. Shouldn't the help be totally ignored on a form that does not have modal property? The fact is it is not shown but it is there and the event is handled.
