All you should really need to do is set the menu for your form to "0".  
This will remove the menu, and you shouldn't need to do anything else.

This is really weird, as even with a menu, you usually get a pen event 
for a tap in the menu region, which MenuHandleEvent then turned into a 
menuEnterEvent, which then causes the menu to be displayed.

You seem to be doing things right... you might get better answers asking 
this on the palm-dev list, as its not a CodeWarrior specific question.
