Home and End keys

I have just started using a X50v, first pda owned, and when using the default on screen keyboard, I noticed that there are no "home and end" keys. Is there a way to simulate those keys in a different way? Most of the time it is not a problem, but for example when using pocket excel and you are putting a long string of informaion in a cell in the edit box at the top of the screen, and you want to go all the way to the beginning or end, how do you do that with no home or end key? Using the left and right arrow works, but is slow

I tried searching in the forum but I'm very new at this and I didn't find anything related.

One possibility...

I don't have the keyboard that you make reference to, but if you use the built-in software keyboard, you can use CTRL + Up Arrow to go all the way to the top of the column, or CTRL + Left/Right Arrow to go to the first cell in the row or the last.

Perhaps you can do the same with the keyboard?

Best of luck!!

Thanks for the help. The "built-in software keyboard" are the words I should have used instead of "default on screen keyboard". But as a newbe, I'm still learning to explain myself.

I did find that the CTRL key was very usefull in helping to get to the end or beginning of a line.

Thanks.
