[CW] OT? Ringtones in Morse

Folks,

Recently I got a new Motorola V180GSM cell phone. 

It has programmable ring tones, and you can associate different tones with 
the numbers in your address book.

Which got me to thinking that if I could program it to send Morse, I could 
know who was calling right away. Simple sequences like "HOME", "WORK", "BOB", 
etc. Seems to me that quarter notes, three-quarter notes, and rests should do 
the trick.

Only trouble is the manual says almost nothing about how to actually write 
your own ringtones. I've done a few that are simply jumbles of notes, so it can 
be done. Google searches are unproductive - everybody wants to sell you a 
tune. 

Anybody know what keys do what in that mode?

73 de Jim, N2EY
