And the reason they do that is because on a real device there may not have been enough memory to save the bits behind the modal form. And in that case the OS will use frmUpdate to tell the form behind the modal form to redraw itself. A form is buggy if it does not properly respond to frmUpdateEvent -- so the debug ROMs help you find that bug in your form. Refer to the Palm OS SDK for details on frmUpdateEvent.
