Well, I was thinking that a tap on the hack title brings up the config
dialog, which is probably the most common thing people need to do. I
think the method of "select an item then tap a button to choose what
function you want to perform" is very clunky and difficult to use. I have
a few apps that work that way installed on my Palm, and I consider none of
them to be easy to use.
I mentioned that to get details, it might be a better idea to follow this
flow:
Menu / Details
Bring up a picker that lists the hack names
Select a hack by tapping on it's name (or maybe a smaller form
with a pull down and OK button)
Display details.
