I stop writing Palm apps for six months and everything changes  :-)

I'm trying to debug a popup trigger problem and went to do what I'd
normally have done last year - look at what the control properties 
are being set to.  After managing to recompile my project so that
I could examine the form data without counting bytes in the hex 
editor (note to "Targeting the PalmOS platform" maintainer - the
Debugging section could do with a short discussion of how to do 
this.  It would also help if the ALLOW_..._FORMS #define switched
on ALLOW_..._WINDOWS so that the FormType didn't raise an
error during compilation) I've run into a problem.

While stepping through the code the other properties of the form look 
fine but numObjects is zero and the objects array pointer is undefined.
This situation remains even while the form is visible on the screen. This
is under the Release PalmSim (the debug PalmSim doesn't produce the
problem I'm trying to trace).  Under the debug PalmSim the form 
pointer isn't even valid - it's pointing to freed memory (FEFEF, or is
that unallocated?).

Any guesses as to what I'm doing wrong?
