The 100 increment on forms is actually pretty sensible. It is
quite easy to have more than 10, or 20 objects on non-trivial forms
so I couldn't recommend any other increment.
The auto increment on other objects is too large. Having strings
and graphic objects increment by 5 or 10 would make a lot more
sense. No reason for a large increment there! I find myself
continually renumbering the auto-gen'ed number on these objects.
However, of the total number space from 1 to 65535, it would
be very nice if PalmSource could allocate more than the current
1 to 10000 number space to applications.
(Do IDs above 32767 work at all? or is there some 'Int16' vs
'UInt16' issue buried inside the OS for object ID's?)
