I've been mucking about with aastra xml applications -- and I've run into a bit of a problem:

- The phone requests a list of directory contacts from my webserver
- I define a bunch of alternate actions for the soft keys:
    <SoftKey index="1">
        <Label>Call</Label>
        <URI>SoftKey:Select</URI>
    </SoftKey>
    <SoftKey index="3">
        <Label>Add</Label>
        <URI>...</URI>
    </SoftKey>
    <SoftKey index="4">
        <Label>Delete</Label>
        <URI>...</URI>
    </SoftKey>

However, I don't know what I could put in the URI fields for Edit and Delete that would be useful, as it appears no one thought that I might want to submit a list selection with an alternate action.

The only option I see at this point is to cause the Edit and Delete buttons to redirect to an alternate listing where the action would be to edit or delete instead of call.

I don't really like that option, as it's not intuitive when you cursor down a list, hit 'Delete', and are instead redirected to the same list again, where you again cursor and hit submit.

As a user, that would annoy me.

Any ideas? Am I doing it wrong, or are there some alternate commands I haven't come across yet?
