D-Pad for Dummies anywhere?

[schmenge]

Got a new device (8125) a few weeks ago with my first d-pad. On one hand it seems pretty straight-forward, OTOH I would think I shuld be able to close/minimize a program and can't figure out how/if I can do that. Is there anyplace where I can find the features that d-pad does and does not offer?

Being able to minimize programs, as well as open the start menu, are functions usually reserved to independant buttons alongside the d-pad. Unfortunately, these were left off of the 8125 for some reason. I'm told there's freeware available at XDA-Developers.com that will let the two phone buttons to double duty in order to correct this.

Cool 8). I found the program at XDA and am giving it a spin no. So far it really seems to do the trick.

Could you put up a link to the program?

Right after I posted I thought "You know, I should probably include the link." :)
