Here, I looked it up for you

OK, it took me a few tries to get it right, but I've now got the left softkey so that it brings up the Comm Mgr. That lets me turn bluetooth and wifi on and off (among other things). Very helpful, thank you!
Furthermore, I discovered something on my own. In the registry under HKLM/Software/HTC/CommManager, there are a series of entries numbered 0 through 7. Apparently Comm Manager honors only the first six of them, because numbers 0-5 map to the functions listed on the Comm Manager screen.
Interestingly, though, the #6 entry was "Vibrate". Since I don't really plan to use the "Push Mail" feature of the phone, I moved "Vibrate" down into the "visible" part of the list.
It worked. I can now switch from Ring to Vibrate mode using the Comm Mgr. So that takes care of all of the basic needs that I listed this morning. "Lock" is assigned to the End Key, the other three are displayed in the Comm Manager, which is assigned to my left soft key. Not bad!
The only problem is that the UI for the Ring/Vibrate function is a little funky. It doesn't turn the rightmost icon on/off like the other Comm Mgr functions. But it does work properly on the phone, which is the important part.
Incidentally, there is yet another "off screen" entry in the Comm Mgr registry. # 7 is set to "InternetSharing". So it should be possible to turn that on and off with Comm Mgr as well. I haven't tried it.
OK, another discovery. In that same section of the registry, on the main CommManager entry, there is a key called "SupportedFunctions". By default, it was set to 6. I changed it to 8, and now all eight of the listed functions show up on the screen.
Pretty cool stuff! I guess I should go add these discoveries to the tweaks thread.
BTW, you have to reset the device to allow any of these changes to take effect.
