I have written an application that needs to bypasses the system workings of the 4 hardware buttons.
Depending on the version of Palm OS you're targeting, one option is to work with the Preferences Manager. For example, you could set the 'prefHard1CharAppCreator' preference to (sub)launch YOUR app, and then do something special. I'm not sure how your app could tell that it's being (sub)launched as a result of a hardkey, but this probably isn't too difficult.
That way, you don't need to prevent SysHandleEvent() from consuming these key-down events, so you don't have to worry about FrmAlert().
