Using Note Pad
In addition to using Graffiti characters and the onscreen keyboard,
you can enter data on your handheld using the Note Pad application.
When you use Note Pad, you write quick notes directly on the
handheld screen in your own handwriting. Later, you can enter this
information into another application, or delete it. See “Note Pad” in
Chapter 5 for more information and instructions.
To use Note Pad:
1. Press the Note Pad application button on the front panel of
your handheld.
2. Write the information directly on the handheld screen.
3. Tap Done.
Using your computer keyboard
If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer
keyboard, you can use Palm™ Desktop software or any supported
PIM to enter information. You can then perform a HotSync
®
operation
to synchronize the information on your computer with the
information on your handheld. Most of the applications that came
with your handheld are also available in Palm Desktop software and
in most PIMs, so you don’t need to learn different applications. For
