Question: With my old PDA, I used a program called SingleButton, for people not familiar with this, you assign any one of the 4 buttons (i.e. calander, to do, phone, memo) to singlebutton launcher, when you press and hold that button, then the single button launcher program loads, scrolls, through a preset list of 5 programs and when you release the button the highlighted program loads. I loved this program because I could quickly and easily launch 5 different programs using only my TO DO list button. I have this installed on my new NX70, but have found that I use my clie mainly with the screen twisted around so it covers the keyboard and buttons (tablet mode?) Anyway, to make a long question even longer, what are the names of other programs or hacks that would allow me to do a similiar thing by touching an area of the virtual grafitti area? (I recall a program/hack that allowed the find button to be divided into 4 quadrants, with each quadrant opening a different program, but I can't remember the name) Thanks..

how about just learning to use your jog dial to scroll through all of your programs instead of having to wait for it to scroll at the much slower speed?

or if you're going to be touching your screen anyway, go to standard vview, make your icons as a list (small) and every program you have should be able to fit on the one screen . . . .

The hack "Find button hack" divided the find button into 4 quadrants as you mentioned. However, as I understand it, this hack will NOT work on OS 5.0. There is another program called ButtonSwicher Pro that allows you to assign 4 programs to each of the Datebook, To do list, Phone, Memo and Calculator screen. However, this program costs ~$12. Good luck
