Talk about discrimination. Negative numbers should have the same rights as
positive numbers! This is an item brought to Palm's attention a couple of
OS revisions ago and still hasn't been fixed...
I got around it by adding a button to toggle the number between negative and
positive. I also looked into parsing the keys as entered by the user but
this fails when using the built-in keyboard. You could add a second field
for the exponent.
