Ok - I am back in business! Whew!
In my applications drawer there was a nookcolor tools icon. I clicked on that and one off the options was choose keyboard and both options were there! I clicked the multi touch keyboard and I am up and running again!
You all were right - you learn alot when you just jump in and start messing with it! Worse case scenerio, I was going to take it back to orginal and then just re-root it! Once you do it, it doesn't seem as threatening. Thanks for your help Scion, just knowing that people like you are here to help gave me the courage I needed to do this! I have to say, I am loving my rooted NC!
