You might want to store your very-long-string in a string resource instead of in code, thus reducing the amount of heap your app requires. As for the reason it's not showing up - I'm suspecting that it exceeds 65535 bytes, which is the maximum size a PalmOS Field widget will accept. For displaying more text than that you'll have to implement your own scheme for displaying the text. Using a paged-access approach and a normal field for displaying the current screen-full of text works rather well. If you want this to be editable things become more complicated very quickly.
