hardIconBar entries disappear from the geos.ini file



Q. I've got a Nokia 9000 demo running and I have just one geos.ini file
   that contains all the usual settings. Everything runs fine in the
   demo except that F8, F12, and Ctrl-F12 don't do anything (they should
   normally launch Services, System, and Extras respectively). I add
   the appX entries to the [hardIconBar] category of the geos.ini file
   but as soon as I start the demo those fields disappear. What is
   going on?

A. Those three entries change dynamically at run time. If you use F8 to
   launch the Services app, then use the Services app to launch www,
   the F8 key will be reassigned to launch www instead of Services.

   When the system reboots we want to make sure that F8 launches Extras
   again, so the system clears the entry. The good entries should be
   in net.ini anyway. Yes, you have to keep a net.ini around.
