Neil, IMHO, when you show your code, it means you 've spent some time to read the documents. But your code and what you asked seems pretty far from each other. That's why J. Leung suggested that you read the manuals.
If you search a little bit on PalmOS site, you would find this easily. http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/recipes/fields_with_static_text.html If it is not what you expect, check the left bar on that URL, there are a lot more.
