For those who like stories with endings: I found my problem. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I was, in fact, putting up a form that was less than full width. It was a small form to say "Please wait" in the middle of the screen. That then got obscured by the alert, and you know the rest.
Thanks to all who tried to help. --Jim Preston -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
