Actually, I just found this in the API Ref for FrmShowObject:

Compatibility: On versions of Palm OS prior to 3.5 this function doesn’t affect 
lists or tables. On Palm OS 3.5 it operates correctly on lists but doesn’t have 
any effect on tables. On Palm OS 4.0 it operates correctly on both lists and 
tables.


Alas, there is no proposed workaround - I'd be ready for some OS-specific low 
level fiddling. At least I'm glad I don't use tables too!
