2008.8 Turn off keyboard 'guessing'??

[B]

Ok, I'm starting to figure out the new keyboard a little, now I can 
backspace and 'forwardspace'.  But right now I'm wanting to type an URL 
in to the web browser, that doesn't seem to be possible with the 
predictive behavior.  I'd like to turn that off, is there a way to do 
that?  If I get the terminal installed too I would think it would also 
be unworkable with prediction.
