The problem with another key is, that mobile devices only have a limited 
amount of free buttons. You need already buttons for scrolling (which 
isn't really perfect in the main code), for simulating left and right 
mouse click and  probably for stuff like "Pause", "Fast Exit" and such. 
Also it is quite hard to remember which additional button was assigned 
to which key or function. Having something like a submenu in the 
right-click menu would make things much more easier to find for novice 
players on mobile devices.
But that's just my 2 cents and of course, knowing that such a 
functionality exist (which I didn't know btw :-) makes it easy to add it 
on my own in the Palm OS port.

Regards and thx for this cool game,
Henk
