    I think I have much of the virtual keyboard controls understood (it took a bit to find the &) but I have only seen clipboard functions on the browser URL bar. Is there a way to copy and paste in other text entry areas?

    edit: Feeling a bit stupid since I figured it out seconds after asking. I am especially embarssed because I waited several day days to ask thinking I would figure it out. A keyboarding tutorial would be nice for the tips and tricks stickie.

    Touch and holkd the text area and you'll get a pop up with a number of options - copy, select, paste are there.
    It is a bit tricky and you have to keep your finger still...

    hold your finger down where ever you want to cut and paste for about 2 seconds and you'll see the options appear under your finger.

    Is the slider an OS2 property? It appears I need to first get the slider to pop up and then hold on the slider to get the menu.

    edit: OK, maybe not, I think I have just not waited long enough. Thanks

    edit: I feel a bit less dense now as it seems there are issues with cursor positioning after a few lines of text. At some point the copy window will only flash and the cursor will not stay positioned. Ultimately, I found that moving the text to the cursor was the only way I could edit the text when this occured. In the process, I did find some#

    The #above is where the cursor appears to start behaving strangely. I preserved the post to keep the character count but it is something more than just typed characters

    I find that the (copy, select, paste) options don't come up sometimes for me. For example, I can't get it to pop up in this text field for some reason

    Your not alone. Sometimes I have to select text from different area of the screen and move the pointers where I need them.

    You may also run into difficulties trying to copy/paste in email. If you are trying to copy from an 'incoming' email, you may need to actually start a reply and copy from the "reply" and then cancel the reply.

    Thanks for that tip. Was just trying to do that. Got frustrated and went to the phone.

    I find that copy/pasting in OS2 is a LOT easier than in 1.0.x... Selecting text and fine picking for spellchecking is also better in 2.0.

    Can only hope it is released Feb/12

    Great tip. RIM technical "support" gal did not know how to do it even from web pages; told me it could not be done. I fear for that company.

    I don't know if this is an append or modification and I can't comment directly:
