Or you can press the button on top of the messages button. From there, just highlight text, copy, switch apps, menu, paste.

However when I try to enter the numbers, The registration screens don't let me paste like I've been able to do on every other palm with the grafitti area real or virtual.

Oh well, I guess there are some trade-offs with a keyboard instead of a grafitti area. On a more general note, Anyone know of any guides that would help me get to know the treo and maybe list some of the top must-have software programs that enhance the treo?

This works very well!

By pressing shift and using D-pad you can select text like in Windows. The command bar can be activated by pressing and holding menu button. Then you can tap on copy/paste button in the command bar.

I use Clip Pro. There is no need to invoke it with a button because you can set it up to automagically launch when text is selected to copy. Not only does it cut, copy and paste, but it can also make an entire text string, or word, upper or lower case, you can add bullets or numbers, insert date or time, sort by ascending or descending, insert symbols, insert phone numbers or email addresses. Frankly, I can't believe the Palm goofs haven't bought the rights to this software and just made it part of the Palm offering.

This is one of the all-time great Palm apps.

BrentDC Expect Spelling Errors Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 1,616	But beware of Clip Pro on NVFS devices, I installed it on my TX and when ever the cache had to be flushed (manually or by a large app like Blazer) my device would crash. I tried locking it with Rlock, but whenever I launched it, it would also crash. I had to go back and disable Clip Pro, lock it, then re-enable it. Although this was quite a hassle, because it took me a little while to ascertain the cause of the problem/and the solution. __________________ -Brent Mobile Device lineage: Palm Z22 -> Palm TX -> Nokia N800 My review of the Nokia N800 Get my OpenMoko Theme Package for Palm OS here!
