Two basic questions about working with text:

- How do you enter a new-line character?

- How do you select, copy, and paste text?

How do you enter a new-line character?

Try pushing in on the directional pad. That works for me.

How do you select, copy, and paste text?

I don't know that you can.

That's not very intuitive. If I'm writing an email, I would expect the "action" key to send the email or something like that, not insert a character... With Series 60, it's the same key as space, which makes a lot more sense to me.

Oh well. Thanks for the tip!

That sucks. Series 60 lets you do that very easily (by holding down the text key) - it's very useful. Hopefully 2003 will fix that.

The Flexis FX100 keyboard (http://smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3739) supports copy and paste (without special drivers), so the functionality must be in the OS somewhere, I guess there's just not a way to use that functionality... Perhaps a developer might be able to come up with a 3rd party solution for copy/paste on the SP2002.
