[Q] Shortcut for composing text message

[rlridgeway]

I know there must be an easier way to begin composing a text message but have not figured it out.
Currently I have this set-up:
The native Motorola message widget is on the home screen
To compose a text I:
tap Message widget
tap "Go to Messaging"
tap "Text Messaging"
tap "New text message"
Then I am able to begin my text input.

Any thoughts on shortening this procedure?

I erased the message widget from my home screen and put the stock text message app short cut in place of the message one.

So I tap text messages
Then tap new message
Then type text

I use launcher pro and handcent messaging, so on my dock I have the handcent app docked and use the swipe feature to start the "quick compose" feature of handcent to start a new text message. One swipe and I'm on my way. Love the set up.

Edit: Nevermind found how to do this. Thanks for the tip!
