No.  There are a surprisingly large number of standard PalmOS
functions that will shut your app out.  The alternative I employed
was to write replacement functions for the Palm alert functions
and to pray that people wouldn't bring up the keyboard and
leave it there.  If your only problem is with alert boxes then
the replacement code isn't too hard to write.

As Peter's reply indicated, the other answer to this is to implement
low-level mechanisms at OS level to trap events below the interface.
Doing this in a robust manner on a variety of PalmOS versions is
a task I'm really not looking forward to.
