How do you copy & paste text?

Also, how can you select multiple messages in a list (SMS for example) & delete them all without doing them one at a time.

get cursor to the text you want to copy
Menu - select
then scroll across the text you want to copy,
menu - copy
then to wherever you want [sms, email etc] and menu - paste

If I remember rightly, hold ALT and scroll; or if you want to delete all messages before a certain date, highlight the date bar, and menu - delete prior

Thanks for the copy/paste bit.

My Pearl doesn't have an alt button though as it's the 9105.

Cheers for that, had my Bold9700 for a while and I hadn't worked that out

From what I can gather, depending on OS version holding the Aa key will do the same as the ALT key.
