For instance, a normal button press would do whatever it did before. A "short" button press (held down slightly longer) would start a different application, a medium press something else, and long yet another. End result is you can access up to 4 applications from each button. The program has the options to do one of the following to display that it will start the "next" option in line:
blink the LED
flash the screen (i.e. for "split second" the screen color inverts/reverts to normal)
play a tick sound through the speaker.

QLaunch was one of the most useful apps on my old Palm, and I have yet to find something like it for PPC.

Could you add this to the Buttons section?

Thanks,
I'm not sure if that can be done easily on Windows Mobile. This is the first time I've ever heard about this idea. I never lay my hands on Palm devices so I don't know how good (or how bad) it is. ;-)

Let me look into the possibility. Boy, with all the request of new features, I really should start charging a fee...
