Thanks for the pointer to the FAQ. That definitely helped and will be a great resource in the future. It's now working great! I initally had a couple issues with MemPtrFree but got those worked out as well.
I figured it was basic C lang stuff and I partially expected a response like that, but being relatively new to both c and PalmOS there are times when I'm unsure which one of those I'm wrestling with. Thanks again!
