Palm kludge

It turns out that you CAN do what I proposed to get smart quotes and em dashes into the Palm. I copied the relevant characters in Documents to Go and made Palm Shortcuts out of them in the Preferences application. You access them by doing the "shortcut" squiggly in Graffiti 2 (not like the letter "e," but close enough that I need to improve my Graffiti 2 skills).

So now I have shortcuts for single and double smart quotes and the em dash. Hot freakin' damn. In case you thought I figured this all out on my own, I learned about the Shortcuts here, and learned that people used them in Documents to Go in the comments below here.

I figured out how to do the Shortcut squiggly in the Palm manual (I'd generated it about a hundred times by accident, not knowing what it was).

P.S. Do you know what a "kludge" is?
