Typing text messages on a tiny keyboard is a pain. If someone has not already done it, I hope to some day write an application to allow Morse text entry to text messaging. I could go a LOT faster.

Amen! I am now using a tiny thumb keyboard on a new Blackberry, which is a mighty step up from the SSS T UU P III D way text is entered on a

10-digit keypad, and a lot easier for me than an infernal fondleslab "picture of a keyboard". But my old dumbphone had an unused PTT button that would have made a good Morse key. Of course such phones use BREW, which isn't the most open OS in the world.

Sorry, Fred, that's going to come out "the RRR T UU P III D way" -- what you wanted is "the SSSS T UU P III D way". HHTHH :-) . Cheers, -- tlvp
