Hi,

I have a program that tracks movement via a Bluetooth connected GPS and the problem is, when I have the Palm in my bag and I want to look on the map where I am, I often press one of the keys and that throws me out of the tracking program and I have to restart the tracking again.

It would be very helpful to have the possibility to switch of some or all of the hardware buttons to prevent this.

I cannot understand why Palm didn't implement this in the systems settings. It would be just an additional entry "no application" in the application list of the system key settings.

Maybe you could give me a hint which PalmOS call is used to disable the hardware buttons, maybe I can build a primitive program for just this purpose.

Bye,
Juergen
