Cool - I had no idea. I had nothing in the Country entry in the Names
app for this particular contact, and I've never dialed them from the
Newton before. But indeed if modify his Names entry, putting Israel as
the country, then use Calls to select his name to dial, it does in fact
prefix the number with 011 972. However it also puts a "#" at the end
of the number...weird. But in any case, a cool feature/piece of smarts
I didn't know the Newt had. Thanks, Paul.
