Tom I have pasted below keystrokes Cerbhall sent to the list a long time 
back.

Congratulations on getting your apple keyboard. Is this a full-size apple
keyboard or is it the Bluetooth rigid Apple keyboard or on the other hand is
it a folding blue tooth keyboard distributed by Apple?

You should find it easy to move around the iPhone screen  with the
"Navigation Quick Keys". This is a feature that acts like a screen review
mode. You enter Navigation quick keys by pressing the left and right cursor
keys  at the same time. If you get this right you should hear "Quick nav on"
When you hear this, you can then move around the iPhone screen using the
cursor keys. To select an icon, just press the up and down  cursor keys
together and the app will open for you.

For your reference, here is a full set of key instructions that were posted
to the iPhone list earlier this year. You could try them out and see which
keys are useful for you. If you need clarification on any of the actions
jsut ask and I will be happy to clarify the action.

To distinguish between the keystroke adn the action it produces I have
inserted a tab ( ) character so that the keystroke or combination of
strokes  is to the left of the tab and the action is to the right on that
line.

I recommend turning VoiceOver help on while experimenting with any of the
keystrokes below. this is a safe way of finding out if the key does what
this list says it does!
Just press VO plus K to start VoiceOver training, Escape to exit

Subject: [vicsireland] Apple keyboard with iphone.

Hi everyone.

I've just bought an apple keyboard to use with my iphone and have got it to
the point where it is connected, I can move round the iphone using the arrow
keys on the keyboard and that's about it. Is there something else I have to
do to make the keyboard work properly. I've done what the people in the
compu b shop told me to do but I can't open any apps with it. Any help would
be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Damien.
