O (oh) turns on and off the PET (proportional editing tool), Shft-O changes the falloff between sharp and not-sharp.

The function you are looking for is the proportional editing tool, you find a button for that in the 3D view window. It looks like two rings. Or the shortcut for the tool is “O”. You have some falloff options and the with of the falloff is changed by the scrollwheel.
Happy blendering

whhhoooaaa :o
thats nifty 
ahh i see it. Thanks you guys, big help.
with the new proportional editing tool the falloff is adjusted with the scroll wheel instead of the +/- buttons. For some reason it doesn’t work with my mouse (scroll wheel’s always been wonky with Blender for this mouse, it’ll only increase the size not decrease it). Are there any buttons that still work?

In fact the Numpad-minus key locks the Dx value at 0.00 and kills the whole operation.

yes, useful when scaling things to a point (though it takes me about as long to move my hand to the numpad as it takes to ctrl-scale to a point ^^)
