here's a repost of Bob's response last month:
>
>Shortcut-dot-5, one of the programmers shortcuts, will delete the current
>user name. You can then set it when you do the next HotSync.
>
>By programmer's shortcuts I mean the shortcut-dot-number things. e.g.
>enter the shortcut character (looks like the AIDS ribbon loop), enter a
>period (tap twice), and then write the graffiti stroke for the number 6.
>That's shortcut-dot-6, and it will tell you the date the ROM was built.
>
>shortcut-dot-1 drops you into the debugger
>shortcut-dot-2 opens the serial port for the PalmDebugger console commands
>shortcut-dot-3 disables sleep-when-idle (auto off)
>shortcut-dot-4 displays some sync related stuff
>shortcut-dot-5 zaps the sync user name
>shortcut-dot-6 gives ROM build date
>shortcut-dot-7 messes with the battery manager tables
>shortcut-dot-8 toggles invert-with-backlight mode on the Palm V
>
>By zapping the hotsync user name, it means the next sync you do will be a
>'slow' sync, but it also means you'll get to choose the Palm user from the
>desktop again.
>
>There are also shortcut-dot-s, shortcut-dot-t, and shortcut-dot-i, which do
>special things to the exchange manager. (s = toggle between serial and IR,
>t = toggle between loopback(test) and external, and i = receive even if IR
>is currently off.)
>
>You should reset after messing with any/all of these shortcuts. A reset
>puts the device back in the 'normal' state, and ensures that the serial
>port is closed, etc. (The only thing a reset DOESN'T recover is the
>hotsync user name!)
