The simple answer (from PalmSource this week) is that this is
absolutely not how you do it.

As the Palm OS 5 stuff and its APIs' roll out, you'll have the 
documentation on what to do.

In the short term, before all this happens, you'll need to either ignore
the situation (and it will just work!), or implement Sony and/or 
HandEra specific code to support their current hRes API's.
However, supposedly Sony will implement a compatibility layer
so that programs doing hiRes using the Palm OS 5 hiRes techniques
will use hiRes on the Sony devices.
