Using the keyboard
When using the keyboard,
most people find it easiest
to hold the Treo with two
hands and use the tips of
both thumbs to press the
keys, as shown above.
In many applications you
can view a list of all the
alternate characters. From
the Edit menu, choose
Keyboard Help (/G).
Some application views
automatically default to
Option Lock, such as the
Dial Pad of the Phone
application, or the
Calculator. In this case, you
do not have to hold down
Option to enter numbers.
The alternate characters
are grouped according to
their similarity to the
corresponding key. For
example, the alternate
characters available for the
e key are é, è, ë, ê and .
