First Claim
1. A method of bounding a select area (202, 204, 206) of an image on a display (200) by a select area boundary (208, 210), said select area boundary comprising at least one select area boundary portion (212, 214, 216), the method comprising actuating one of a plurality of keypad buttons (308) for a first period of time, comparing the first period of time to a threshold period of time (110), and in dependence on the comparison resizing the select area (202, 204, 206) or calling up a different movement function.

Abstract
A method of bounding a select area (202, 204, 206) of an image on a display (200) by a select area boundary (208, 210). The select area boundary comprises at least one select area boundary portion (212, 214, 216). The method comprises actuating one of a plurality of keypad buttons (308) for a first period of time, comparing the first period of time to a threshold period of time, and in dependance on the comparison resizing the select area (202, 204, 206) or calling up a different movement function.
