"This is a hack to eliminate the underlining in editable text fields, because they annoyed me. I know that ClearHack already does this, but it sometimes has a problem with the underlines re-appearing when you enter new text or backspace in a field. So, for practice writing hacks (this is actually my first released program for the Palm) and working with PalmOS, I wrote this in the hopes I would be able to eliminate even those last vesitges of annoyance. Naturally, I did, or I wouldn't have bothered to release this."
