Is there an easier way to enter numbers with the keyboard. I have an Expense app that requires a ton of numerial input. Everytime I want to enter a number, I have to press the orange shift key and the corresponding number key.Since I have pretty bid hands, its extremely cumbersome. Is there some sort of numerical caps lock that will allow me to use the numbers. Thanks Y'all

Actually there is a "numeric " lock that you can use to enter numeric data.
Press the BLUE bar (not the RED)
then press the cap lock button on the lower right corner.
You will see an underlined "1" on the screen which indicates that you are locked in the BLUE mode. Then just type the numbers on the upper row as you would normally.
Hope that helps.

Okey is a free utility that lets you press the blue button before the number instead of at the same time.

Okey's one of those app's that should have come with the Clie and is just indispensable! Very helpful for many such multi-key situations.

I hadn't realized that this was an Okey function and not a standard TG50 function. Perhaps my original response would not be helpful without installing OKey first.
The things I learn from this site........

This has been mentioned quite a bit before, but If you can, I would highly recommend gettingKeyQuick (http://www.jade.dti.ne.jp/~imazeki/palm/KEYq/index-e.html) . It gives you this functionality as well as a whole multitude of other benefits for using the keyboard
To enable the sticky shift/color/ctrl keys you open the menu bar and select UI Settings. Then change the 'Combination mode' to 'Stick'
