Java MIDLET remap dpad/buttons?

[retrobits]

I'm trying to play Orcs & Elves in Intent Midlet Manager. Since the app expects to be running on a "standard" phone, all the functions are mapped to numbers. It seems like there must be a way to map the touch dpad and hardkeys to input numbers instead of their default functions. This must be a common problem when running java phone apps on pocket pcs. Tried out AEButton, but it seems to be intended to map buttons to launching programs rather than character input. Anyone have any ideas how to make this work?
thanks...
