After highlighting an item with the 5-way, you can select or activate it by pressing Center or by tapping the item with the stylus.

The best way to learn to use the 5-wayis to experiment. Press the 5-waybuttons, and as you do, follow the movement of the border around the screen. The behavior of the 5-wayvaries slightly in each application.

	highlighted text.

Using the Softkeys

The left and right softkeys give you quick access to tasks that you can do on the current screen, so the softkey items vary from application to application and from screen to screen. Look on the screen directly above the softkeys to see the actions that they make available in the current application. If you don’t see a label above these keys, the keys are inactive from the current screen. In most cases the right softkey opens the menu and the left softkey activates a specific item, such as New or Edit. Remember that softkey functions vary from screen to screen, so be sure to check the onscreen label before pressing the softkeys.
