GW> Please explain what you mean by "the down button doesn't work".
GW> The down button certainly should work in all versions of Yanoff.

It gave me a "this is the yarnoff- version blah, blah" message. I read
your feature list as "reprogramming buttons is only possible in
pay-version". The default functionality on the down button is
"registered" which explains why I was getting the message.

The "down" functionality that can be selected, is nearly the same
functionality as from the gpl version, except that it doesn't progress
to the next message, when you are at the end of a message. I guessing
that is the "PgDn+Next Art" or the "PgDn+Next+Wrap" which are both
registered only.

Sounds good. Has I understood it correctly that palm hasn't released
easy to use examples on how to program this?

Great! Maybe I should get out my visacard after all...

I think that you could actually do it quite simply (from a programming
point of view - mind that I program in Delphi and not for palm, so my
knowledge of the limitations in the palm is nil).

Say a form with as may dropdowns (or menu-lists selectors if you will)
as there's space for (just like on the ButtonAction Prefs page, where
you have nine dropdowns). Except here you have a number of scripts
that take a page each.

First one selects the button the "script" should work for.
Second one contains a condition that must be meet (top of
message/bottom of message/last message/message with score></etc)
The rest contains a dropdown with actions, pretty much the same
as you have today but without all the combinations, thus making the
list shorter, but the overall system more flexible.
So I could make a script that I could use just like the down button,
except it would also mark the message for later reading.
1. [to-do list button]
2. if [At bottom of message]
3. [Mark message]
4. [Next message]

I'm taking another look at it...

Thanks for the feedback.
