Instead of creating message boxes, why not use Palm Reporter from
www.palmos.com? I found the Palm Reporter utility to be an extremely
helpful tool. You can emit traces from your app and monitor them with
Reporter. You do not have to repeatedly recompile with debugging messages
and execution does not need to be interrupted. It saved me countless hours
of bug hunting. The only thing is that you must be using SDK 3.5 and be
developing on Windows.
