With thanks (& apologies, if necessary) to all who have
assisted me in this small quest, I'm pleased to announce
that FrmCopyTitle() does indeed do the trick, and they're
not kidding when they say it better be declared much bigger
than any string you might dream of stuffing into it.
Thanks again, and BTW: I think that this is a perfect example
why this is definitely NOT a "Crappy Forum".
IMHO:Such weenies ought to be encouraged to go forth & write
code for pocketPC in eVB, and thus enhance the desirability
and marketability of all Palm OS devices.
