This is a very newbie question but I can't seem to figure it out with ArcPad Studio's help documentation. I am trying to write a simple line of python code that is brought up during the event "ondropdown" for a specific field control. In python, I believe the code is just print "Text to print". I have selected python as my default program language in studio. Is this the correct syntax or am I missing something important?

Also, on a related note, when would I need to compile code? And when I do need to, how can I compile the code so that it stores the changes within the .afx file and so that future checked out data can refer to the changed form template? Previous attempts to compile have prompted me to save it to a new .apl file and not the original .afx file and using the new .apl file as the template didn't give the desired results.

Any help in these problems is greatly appreciated.
