It has been so intuitive on PALM - just drag the stylus over the text. But how on earth do you do it here? ind yes - I did RTFM.

Thanks

p.s.: BTW - P800 is totaly incredible device - I'd be willing to pay even more for this wonderful tool/toy

Actually pretty simple. You click in front of the tekst you want to select and keep the stylus on the screen. You will now see the Black screen dividing triangle(used for writing) on the right side of the screen disappear. Still keeping the stylus on the screen, you can now drag the stylus over the tekst and select it.

Or you can press the little keyboard on the bottom of the screen, where you can select the text... (Bit more inconvenient, but what the heck)

He he - thank you both. How simple - I just can't understand how I overlooked that. I was close just the direction was wrong. 😉

Best regards
