Using the onscreen keyboard
You can open the onscreen keyboard anytime you need to enter text or numbers on
your handheld. You can also use Graffiti writing when the keyboard is open, which
makes it easy to switch between these two methods of entering data.

2.
Tap any record, or tap New.
3.
Tap “abc” to open the alphabetic keyboard, or tap “123” to open the numeric
