Keypad equipped devices can use the built-in keys to perform operations
instead of using the stylus. Remember to go to the 'Preferences' screen to
check the keypad setting for your device. Not all commands are available
from the keypad, of course, but the following can be used as a guide:
Digits: 0 to 9.
Decimal: dot
Simple operators: +, -, x, /
Brackets: '(' and ')'
Backspace
Enter
Two functions need special mention:
The fn button is mapped to the space bar on the Tungsten keypad, while it is mapped
to the 'option' button on the Treo600 (leftmost column, 3rd button down).
The 'Exponent' button is mapped to the capital 'E' character.
Treo600
On the Treo600, to simplify the keypad use, you do not need to hold (or
double-tap to lock) the blue, 'option' key. You can simply tap the "D" key
to enter the digit 4 and the operator '+' can be entered by tapping the
"w" key, etc.
Shifted keys are also mapped to the appropriate digit. For instance,
the "W" key will be mapped to '+'. The only exception to this rule is that the "E"
button, which, when shifted, maps to "Exp" button instead of the "1" button.
The 'Enter' function can be initiated by pressing the actual 'Enter' key on the keypad,
or by tapping the 'space' bar.
TungstenC:
Similar to the description for the Treo600 above, you could simply tap
the "R" button, shifted or un-shifted, to enter a digit "4". The menu
button is the second from right on the bottom.
