1. Method to open Q9 Input Method
        
        There are certain ways to open Q9 Input Method for different devices 
        and different versions of Palm OS. When a text field is selected:
        
        A. Tap "abc" or "123" ("a" or "1" for Sony Clie) of the Graffiti Input Area.
              For all devices with standard Graffiti Input Area. Eg:
              Palm Tungsten E, Tungsten T2, Zire, Sony Clie, and other
              devices with OS 3.5 - 4.x
          
        B. Double tap "Menu" button, or double press "Menu" key (if any).
              For devices with OS 5.x only. It is useful for the devices
              without standard Graffiti Area, eg. Tungsten T3, and the device
              with hardware keyboard, eg. Treo 600 and Tungsten C.

        C. Tap Q9 icon on the Command Shortcut Bar
              For devices with OS 5.x only. Trigger Command Shortcut Bar by
              entering Graffiti's Command Stroke or pressing Command Shortcut
              key, if any, and then tap the Q9 icon on the bar.

        D. Go to Menu->Edit->Keyboard
              It is an alternative for most devices.
           

2. Five Way Button supported

        This function is for the devices with the five way button, eg.
        Tungsten Series, Zire 71, Clie TJ35/25, Handspring Treo 600, Xplore
        G18. With the options enabled, you can use the five way button to
        type Chinese with Q9 and move the cursor. 
        
        To use the five way button to type Chinese with Q9, press the
        direction buttons to move the selector, then press CENTER button to
        select that key.
          
        To use five way button to move the cursor, first press UP button
        until the selector disappears. Then use the direction buttons to move
        the cursor. After you move the cursor to the position you want to
        insert Chinese, press CENTER button so the selector appears and you
        can type Chinese with Q9 again.

        Note: For devices other than Tungsten Series, Zire 71, Clie TJ35/25,
        calibration of the five way button is needed. Please follow the on-
        screen instructions.


3. Keyboard supported

        This function is for the devices with hardware keyboard, eg. Tungsten
        C, Clie TG50, Clie NX/NZ Series, Hangspring Treo Series. When this
        option is enabled, certain keys are mapped for typing Chinese with
        Q9. The key mappings detail is shown when enabling this options. You
        can also get it in the Menu of Q9 Setting page.
        
        To toggle the keyboard for typing Chinese or English, you can press
        "Menu" key, or "Command Shortcut" key, if any, or tap the button at
        upper right corner.
