we can use dir /x in command prompt to get the 8.3 format directory name

Bat files. Dir /x commands...simple tools...but didnt strike me...this is what I love about discussion threads... so many sources..so much potential.

Another thing that Bat files and Dir /x commands remind me of is...

At the MDC this year...Bill Gates in his key notes mentioned how developers had over the years have forgotten about writing fast/small efficient code becoz processor and memory is so in-expensive..And with Smartphones, developers have to start thinking about those things again..we have completed a cycle.

And seems like after getting used to using Windows/Shortcuts/Menus...I will have to go back to DOS to be a good Smartphone developer...complete cycle...now if only I can find my DOS manual :-)

back to the T9 deal - I know we can use the keyboard for input, but I hoped to test out the Smartphone's implementation of T9. I use it frequently on my ancient TDMA phone, and I want to compare the two.
