It works whenever the keyboard is present. When you double-tap and hold the more numbers button, you will hear something like alternative characters available. Without lifting your finger, slide it to where the z key is and lift. Now you have a period. -- Raul A. Gallegos Dear chicken, I don't get why you're so popular for crossing the road...

The period is where the z key is and the comma is where the x key is. So, if you double-tap and hold the numbers button, drag your finger to the location of the z and you will see it's a period, list your finger and a period will be entered, or do the same with a comma or a number. When you do it this way, the keyboard immediately returns back to letters when finished. This is why it's only useful if you will be doing 1 or 2 symbols or numbers in your writing. >> >> I hope that makes sense. >> >> -- >> Raul A. Gallegos >> I feel sorry for people who don't drink.
