Hmm Noob: Where is the "escape" button?

Hi m8s.

I am pretty new still to PPC and I wonder where is the "escape" button on the Axim? I am sorry but I only see OK buttons everywhere in the dialogs of WM2003. How do you cancel a change that you have made in a setting for example, if it was wrong?

Thanks.

I had the same question. I resolved it by remapping the home button to <OK/Close>. Works well!

Cheers, Rich

There are screens that don't display an X. For example go to any of the screens in the settings / connections area. You get only the OK button in the upper right corner of every screen, no X at all.

IMO this is a really big lack in the WM2003 OS. Is it not possible to cancel changes then? It is quite unbelievable.

WisBar Advanced, a skinable taskbar/manager, allows you to cancel a dialog by tapping & holding the OK button.
