Little coding help please

[reedster555]

First I am not a programmer, but I was able to get very, very close to what I wanted. I actually took a couple of existing homescreens (thanks to the authors of Empy Logic, Fusion and a couple of others) and was able to cobble together what I wanted. It looks correct, it just doesn't work quite right.
There are 2 issues:

1. The Profile/Missed call area works ok, but when the missed call is selected (move cursor to right) the text moves over to the left instead of tabbing back and forth. I am not sure if this is possible with what is here. This happens becuase I copied the code down from the section above it, which makes sense to work that way.

2. I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the email (Yahoo) area highlite when the cursor is over it. All of the other areas highlite fine.

Any help would be very, very appreciated.

The code that needs help is below. After that is the entire file.

I decided to dig through this line by line, and was actually able to fix my issues through trial and error. I now have much more respect for programmers, it is amazing how big of a difference a small change can make.

I attached the finished product as someone with Good Messaging may be able to use this. Again thanks to the original authors that I borrowed very, very heavily from.

Thanks.

I did notice that others have posted screen shots, but I am not sure how to capture one.
