You'll get a penDownEvent in your event loop when the user taps in
the Graffiti area...so (unless I'm missing something) the problem is
how to determine the location of the tap, before calling
SysHandleEvent.
To do this you can use the EvtGetSilkscreenAreaList trap on 3.5 ROMs.
Prior to that, the Graffiti areas were always hard-coded, though in
different locations depending on whether it was a Latin device or a
Japanese device. I believe the bounds were:
Latin -
top 164
left 27
height 56
width 62 (alpha), 44 (numeric)
Japanese -
top 164
left 44
height 56
width 50 (alpha), 48 (numeric)
