Help! I was using the URL function on Kindle 2 to look up info about an item I saw out at a store. I was successful, but then suddenly, I couldn't enter a new URL. I press "Menu" then "Enter ULR"... and nothing happens. The URL "box" does not appear at the top of the screen. There's no place to enter the URL. However, when I press "Menu" again, the "Enter URL" selection is grayed out, as if the box has already popped up.

This has been going on for several hours. I've tried pressing ALT-G, I've tried shutting the unit completely off, I've tried switching between basic and advanced mode -- nothing works. The box to select URL will not appear on the screen when I select "Enter URL."

Could this be a glitch in the new 2.0.2 update?
