In programming tables, it's very handy that tblSelectEvent tells me which 
column was tapped.  Where I think it makes sense, I provide different 
behavior depending on which column was tapped.  The built-in applications 
do this to a modest extent, like the way that tapping on a note character 
in the Address Book list goes directly to editing the note for the record 
behind the tapped row.

When one of my apps draws rows in a Find result form, it will typically 
create a line that looks identical to an equivalent line in a list form -- 
both so I can reuse code and leverage the customer's existing understanding 
of the list form.  Again, not unusual.

Consequently, when I handle a sysAppLaunchCmdGoto, I might want to vary the 
goto behavior based on where the screen was tapped, to provide greater 
interface consistency.  So, arguably, the penUp coordinates should have 
been a member of the GoToParamsType struct. But they aren't.

So, without writing a hack or poking into undocumented, unsupported, Palm 
internal terrain, there's no way to accomplish what I want.  Am I missing 
something?
