i thought of doing this but it appears not to be an option. when 
pressed, the center of the keypad makes contact with 2 separate traces. 
one trace is broken between the center and just outside the keypad. it 
then splits off, one path chaining a group of keypads and the other 
going to a resistor. there is no component on the underside to bridge to 
from the resistor. the trace just terminates at the center of the keypad.
thanks for the input,
