Re: Re: newer version of Pdesk?

Hi, everyone.

This same problem occurs in my Palm T|X. How can I resolve it?

 libraries would resolve my BIGGEST complaint about Progect-- on a
 Treo, you type a character to open a new entry, and the grakkin gorzak
 OS steals the focus from the text field so it can highlight the OK
 button.  That causes all the subsequent text characters to be eaten by
 the button gadget.
 
 You have to TAP the text field again if you want to finish your entry.  
 
 This is apparently resolved by simply relinking the code with new
 libraries; not that I've tried it, however.
