My next step with this whole thing was to figure out some standard 
layout which would work for me and order 100 of them for this and future 
products.  If there is interest, I would be interested in going in with 
others for a bulk purchase if we could come up with a reasonable layout.

What I had envisioned was a single keypad which was 3x4 and had both the 
"telephone" style legend (1-9 and 0, plus "clear" and "enter" labeled at 
asterisk or pound), and also an arrow navigation legend (arrows where 2, 
4, 6, and 8 are on the keypad, and then labeling 1,3,5,7,9,* and # with 
useful words or not - still TBD) on the same keypad.

The other option was two different keypads - a 3x3 "arrow" keypad for 
those applications where menu navigation is needed and a 3x4 or 4x4 
keypad for where numeric entry is needed.  If I had the 4x4, I'd have 
the standard telephone layout, plus "enter", "erase" and a couple of 
others from things like "help", "menu", "back", "up", "down", or perhaps 
some arrows.

A 1x4 or 1x3 would also be nice, either unlabeled, to go under the 
bottom row of a LCD panel which defines the buttons on the LCD, or 
simply labeled something like "Up Down Enter Back"

I'm still hoping to come across a vendor or two that just already does 
this, but if not, then I guess I'll have to put some more thought into 
exactly what I want (instead of being able to look at a catalog and 
saying "that will work").
