Treo 600 - General usage questions from newbie

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

In regards to your questions,

1) I don't believe that there is a delete key (only a backspace key).
At least if there is a delete key, I haven't found it or felt the need
to use it.

2) I don't see a "Purge" for my Contacts (on my Treo 600). I only see
a "Purge" in my Mail.

3) The only way of closing the connection is to go to "Prefs",
"Network", and click on "Disconnect". However, the only thing that
this will do is protect you from accidentally using GPRS since you
aren't charged for the amount of time you remain connected. You are
charged for the amount of downloading/uploading that you use.

If the OP meant Palm shortcuts where you do the "Y" symbol
followed by "DS" for datestamp, for example, then it's the
following keypresses:

S
ALT
down
down
down
D
S
