Hi

Someone asked about the % symbol on the E71.

I asked a sighted friend who informed me that it isn't on the keyboard.
Then out of curiosity I asked what the talks key was natively.  He told
me it was a control and char key.  So I opened a note and pressed the
talks key twice..  I found that I could cycle through many symbols.  By
using the joy stick navigation key.  Including the percent sign.  Then
simply clicking the joy stick navigation key selected the symbol.

BTW: Talks gets a bit too much verbose in that dialog in places.

four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

    * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
    * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
    * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
(freedom 2).
    * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements
to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access
to the source code is a precondition for this.
