Scrolling through screens
As on a computer, you scroll on the Treo 
smartphone to move from field to field or 
page to page, or in some cases to highlight 
an item or option in a list. 
In list screens, use the 5-way
to
select and move between entries such as 
notes, memos, contacts, or photos. In 
individual entry screens—such as a single 
photo or email message—use the 5-way to 
move among the items on the screen or to 
move to another entry.
The behavior of the 5-way for list screens 
and entry screens varies according to 
application. Here are some general 
scrolling tips that apply in most 
applications:
•
Press Right ,
Left ,
Up
, or
Down
to move to the next field,
button, or action in that direction.
•
In list screens, press and hold Up
or
Down
to scroll one screen at a time.
•
When inside a text field, press Right 
or Left to scroll to the next character 
or word, press Up 
or
Down
to
scroll between lines, or press and hold
Up
or
Down
to scroll one screen
at a time.
You can also scroll using the stylus. Tap an 
onscreen scroll arrow, or drag the slider of 
an onscreen scroll bar.
Highlighting and selecting items
On most screens, one item—a button, a 
list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by 
default. The highlight identifies which item 
is affected by your next action. Use the 
5-way to move the highlight from one item 
to another before opening or selecting it. 
The highlight can take one of two forms, 
depending on what is highlighted:
•
Border glow:
When an onscreen
button (such as OK or Cancel) or pick list 
is highlighted, the item displays a glow 
around its border. If an entire list screen
