Also note that you should be using the Capitalized version of Char. This
is a portable type, and ensures that you are getting the "right" type of
char (it could be signed or unsigned, etc..). The Palm header files
define Char to be exactly what it expects a char to be. The lower case
version can presumably vary between compilers.
