The blue coloring means that the symbol is in the browser database.  
When you create a new project with the wizard, it sets up your project 
to

1) use a precompiled header that includes all the Palm OS APIs
2) link to the project that builds the precompiled header, so you'll get 
coloring for the Palm OS API

You may not get coloring until after a successful build.  Check the 
settings in your C/C++ Language pref panel and make sure that you have 
something like "Palm_OS_Headers_Strict" set there, then make sure your 
project has a subproject called BuildHeaders.mcp in it -- linking to 
that project makes the coloring work, and using the precompiled header 
makes builds faster.
