I am new to Tablet PC World. I have a Toshiba Portege 3500 and am trying to
determine how I easily change the screen orientation. I have found how to
change it in the control panel and even how to change the sequence. However,
this leads me to believe I can change the screen though some sort of command
without having to go through the control panel. Anyone know how I can do
this? For example, if I am using the machine as a typical notebook and then
flip the screen to use as a tablet. How do I change the orientation easily?
Please help.

Good machine! In your User Guide, take a look on pages 162 and 163 for
information about the Toshiba rotation setup. It should be automatic,
depending on the position/orientation of the screen.

It should do it automatically. I know my m200 has a Toshiba utility which
does all of that stuff, you may need that.

If i was you i would just ring Toshiba support, because they are as good as
one can get when it comes to helpful tech support!
