In a previous post as per the URL:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/palm-dev-forum/message/89662

I listed an Algorithm to process Text String with Arabic Characters 
to perform Auto-Shaping.

It is possible for me to convert this algorithm to C Language and 
compile it using Cygwin/prc-tools, and I can use it in my 
applications for Palm to process Arabic Text Properly. So far, so 
good, no problem...

Well... What is the problem?

How I can install this small utility program in Palm OS 5.x so that 
it will work for all other applications, not only my own application.

Let us take a simple example.

If you take any Palm OS API that will write a String to the Palm 
Screen. How is it possible to intercept this API and capture the 
input sting to be displayed, re-format it as per the algorithm I 
mentioned earlier, and pass back the formatted string to the 
original API for normal processing and final display to the screen.


My specific question is how we can implement such requirement on 
Palm OS 5.x?

If you speak of Windows Platform or the Old DOS Platform, this 
process is called Interrupt Redirection and TSR Routines (Terminate 
and Stay Resident). In such platform, it is very well known how to 
do such thing.

Thank you...
