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. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Get help at http://palmoswerks.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
