On http://www.longbros.com/benjamin/ipaq/, you can find bbkeys. It has
a .bbkeysrc that looks like this:
KeyToGrab(XF86Calendar), WithModifier(None),
   WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(schedule)
KeyToGrab(XF86Start), WithModifier(None),
  WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(/bin/echo >/proc/sys/pm/suspend)
KeyToGrab(telephone), WithModifier(None),
  WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(contacts)
KeyToGrab(menu), WithModifier(None),
  WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(/usr/bin/calculator)

Looks like the exect program you need.
