Ouch my head hurts.  What in the world is the point of showing a soft
keyboard when there is no touch screen?!?

Anyway, you can use the InputMethodManager class to show or hide the current
soft keyboard.  I really don't understand what you mean about using SYM to
show a soft keyboard, I don't think it ever would have done such a thing.
