After ripping apart the example code, I finally determined that the
problem was caused because I wasn't calling PINSetInputAreaState. I was
taking the documentation for PINSetInputAreaState at its word where it
said "Most forms should not set a state for the input area". What this
actually means in Palm documentation speak is that you actually must
call PINSetInputAreaState, but pass it a parameter of pinInputAreaUser.
Neglecting to call it at all results in the behavior I was seeing.

I should have realized that the documentation would be misleading. I
spent most of yesterday trying to figure out why my form wouldn't change
size, because nowhere in the entire documentation does it say that you
explicitly need to change the form's size with WinSetBounds when you get
the winDisplayChangedEvent. Why should I have expected anything better
in any other part of the api docs?

Thanks.
