Thanks. I didn't see anything there that jumped out as solving this problem I guess my question should be more specific: 1) How do ASU apps "decide" that they need a keyboard? 2) What process do they use to bring one up? 3) How could the Matchbox keyboard be called by that instead of the default Qtopia keybaord?
