View keypad from screen Constantine 08-16-2006

 Hello,
Does anyone know if there's an app for WM5 for smartphone that will let you
see the numeric keypad on the screen?
Sometimes when calling a company and you get an automated answering service,
they will sometimes ask you to spell things with the keypad.
For example, let's say you want to go to Indianapolis. So you call amtrak
and you get their automated scheduling menu, and they ask you enter the first
3 letters of the name of the city. On a regular phone you'd hit 4-6-3, which
correspond to locations of the letters I N D on the phone keypad.
On a Motorola Q, with the full qwerty keyboard, that info is missing from
the keypad. Thus, unless I'm looking at another numeric keypad with letters
under the numbers, I can't remember which keys to push.
Is there a way I can call up an image of a keypad on my screen so i can
remember which keys to push for which letters, or am I stuck? Is there any
"view numeric keypad" feature available on WM5?
Please help!
Regards,
Constantine
