Newbie Questions

[glsnc1]

I'm new to the Palm OS. I have several questions:

a) Is there a way to go back to the Palm Desktop from within an application window (using the stylus) without having to press the little Home button above the keyboard?
b) At one time, I think I remember that Palm included a graffiti application that allowed users to write freehand with the stylus. Is that no longer available? If it is available, is it worth the trouble?
c) When I'm charging via the USB cable, every 10 to 15 minutes, my Treo beeps. When I'm charging via the charger included with the phone, it does not do this. Why does it do it when I'm charging via the PC?

Thanks for your help.

Not that I'm aware of...

You'd need a 3rd party app such as GraffitiAnywhere. I thought I would miss Graffiti when I first got a Treo, but I'm much faster on the keyboard than I ever was with the stylus.

What kind of beep? Off the top of my head, I would guess that it's periodically losing the USB connection. You could try firing up pTunes on your Treo and Windows Media Player on your PC and find out if that's the case.
