I believe you simply "tap" with the mouse. At least, that's what worked on the 650 emulator.

Hmm... doesn't seem to work for the 600.

Use the 5 key on the number pad, but make sure numlock is off.

Guys... I recently did this whole PODS download and development using PODS, then downloading the palmOne specific headers etc. I wish I could just write this all up in one post and help y'all right away. I'll try to writeup a "How to 'really' get started" FAQ and send out a link when I get a chance.
In the meanwhile, try opening a new project in PODS, and select the sample app template, its a good way to get started for generic palm development.
Once you get a hang of that then download the palmOne specific headers that allow you to gain access of the 5-way. I had to manually tweak my makefile to compile with these headers and link with their library.

Keymappings I found from a file were:
4- Key mapping

The UI is vastly mouse (pen) driven. There are a few important keys to know
however:

esc -> power key
page up -> up key
page down -> down key
F1 to F4 -> applicative hard keys
F5 -> toggles cursor coordinates reporting on or off
pause/attn-> simulates a shortcut .. stroke. The user can then *draw* a
number or character sequence


Control Keys:

Control+A Displays the menu
Control+C Command character
Control+D Confirmation character.
Control+E Displays the application launcher
Control+F Displays the onscreen keyboard
Control+I Jump to the Find Dialog
Control+K Jump to the Calculator app
Control+M Enters a linefeed character
Control+N Jumps to the next field
Control+P Jumps to the previous field
Control+R Does a soft reset
Contorl+Shift+R Does a hard reset
Control+S Automatic off character
Control+Pause Enters the 68K debugger

The following shortcuts are not supported by the NT Simulator:
Control+B Low battery warning
Control+T Sets or unsets hard contrasts
Control+U Turns backlighting on or off


Most others keys can be used to input text while a field is active.

It seems to be missing the "Home" key which acts as the 'select' button of the 5-way.

If you are curious to know what I wrote up.. its at:
http://bhutech.homeip.net/~sidster/T...om_finder.html

Its probably not useful to the general crowd, since it has specifics of where I work.

More later,

For some reason I tried every key I could think of except that one, including mashing down on the keyboard randomly. You'd think that they would make it something obvious like enter or space.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Is anyone developing Palm apps with the full featured open source compiler "Dev C++" at...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp/

A mini-guide to compile a Palm "Hello World" program would be nice.

It's a shame none of the actual *developers* on this site that hawk their programs and get tons of support and sales from the members here haven't posted anything here

Sorry about that! I didn't even see this thread until now. Been so busy with ProfileCare that my time has been devoted to that Forum beta thread.

I am more than willing to help anyone that wants to get started developing for the Treo! The best way right now is to AOL IM me at GoTreo. For those that are serious about getting started can help me with some of my developement projects! Call it a mentorship program. http://discussion.treocentral.com/im...ilies/wink.gif

That someone can be so happy about programming this !@)*$$@)*$ thing amazes me.



(never thought I'd actually *miss* java)

By the way, Quartus Forth just released an all new version of Quartus Forth version 2.0 which offers many new features and allows for compiling apps right on the Treo itself. http://www.quartus.net/products/forth/. There is a free evaluation version and great support on the discussion boards.
