5. Scroll down to a blank area of the Maptable.xls file (below the rows 
used for Sample4.xlt), and click on a row number to select a blank 
row.
6. From the Edit menu, choose Paste. A copy of the rows you selected 
in step 3 is pasted into the Maptable.xls file.
7.
Name the table. In the cell immediately to the right of the cell entitled 
Template Name, enter the exact file name of your custom Expense 
Report template. 
8.
Define the number of Sections. Each row in a table defines how your 
organizer data will be placed in a Section of your custom Expense 
Report. Note that the prepaid portion of a section has its own row 
and counts as a separate section for map table purposes, even 
though it is not a separate section in your template.
You may add or delete rows as necessary so that the total number 
of rows corresponds to the number of Sections in your custom 
Expense Report. To clear all of the existing settings in a row, click 
to select the row and press Ctrl+Delete. Name each row to 
correspond to a Section of your custom Expense Report.
9.
Determine the Label settings. The orientation of the data fields (Row, 
Column) appears in the yellow section of the table.
Determine whether the Rows will contain expense or date 
information, and place an “x” in the appropriate cell. When you do 
this, you also define whether the label is Fixed or Variable. You can 
place only one “x” in the Row section (columns 2–5).
Determine whether the Columns will contain expense or date 
information, and place an “x” in the appropriate cell. When you do 
this, you also define whether the label is Fixed or Variable. You can 
place only one “x” in the Column section (columns 6–9).

10.Define the dimensions of the Section. The dimensions of the Section 
appear in the green columns (10–13).
11.
Define the Dates and Intervals. The dates and intervals between dates 
appears in the light blue columns (14–17).
In the Date cell, enter the row or column number where all the date 
information will be placed.
In the Dates cell, enter the number of blank columns (or rows) 
separating the date fields. If there are no blank columns (or rows) 
between date entries, leave this number set to zero.
In the Start Day cell, enter the day of the week that starts the 
expense reporting period. Enter a three-character abbreviation for 
the day (e.g., Sun, Mon, Tue).
In the Day cell, enter the row or column number where all the day 
information will be placed. If the dates are in a row, enter the row 
number. If the dates are in a column, enter the column number.# of 
RowsRepresents the total number of rows in the Section, 
excluding any header or total rows. In other words, 
this includes only the number of rows in the Section 
where your organizer data will be placed.
# of 
ColumnsRepresents the total number of columns in the 
Section, excluding any header or total columns. In 
other words, this includes only the number of 
columns in the Section where your organizer data 
will be placed.
Start 
RowIs the number of the first row of the Section that will 
be filled with your organizer data.
Start 
ColumnIs the number of the first column of the Section that 
will be filled with your organizer data. 
						

							Appendix C Page 215
12.Define whether the Section is in list format. This setting appears in the 
light purple columns (18–19).
If the Section will present the data in a list format, enter the word 
“yes”. Otherwise, enter the word “no”. The following diagram 
shows data presented in a list format:
Only if your section is in list format: In the Expense Type cell, 
enter the number of the row or column where the expense 
description will be placed. Expense amounts can be entered in 
several different columns or rows if required by your template. 
Expense type labels must all appear in the same column.
13.
Enter the row or column numbers for the expense types that appear in the 
Section.
 These settings appear in the aqua columns (20–48).
For these settings, simply enter the row or column number for the 
expense types that you want to appear in the Section. Note that you 
can use a row or column number more than once. An example of 
this would be meals that encompass breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 
snacks. In the previous example, all expense items would be 
populated into row/column 4 of the custom Expense Report.
14.
Complete the table. All of the remaining columns (49–57) in the table 
are used to define the column or row number that corresponds to 
the description. 
15.
Mark a Section for prepaid expenses (yellow column). If a row in the map 
table is for prepaid (company paid) expenses, type a “yes” in the 
cell on that Section’s row. Type “no” in all the cells of this column 
that do not pertain to prepaid expenses. 
						

							Page 216  Creating a Custom Expense Report
16. Repeat steps 9 through 15 for each Section that you have defined 
for your custom Expense Report. 
17.
Map Expense Report Options dialog (magenta section). The Expense 
Report Options dialog has five fields where you can fill in data for 
the header on your expense report. Use this section to specify the 
row and column on your template where this information will be 
mapped. 
Because header data is not related to any particular Section, you 
have to fill in only one row. If the item does not appear on your 
template, leave these cells blank.
Using applications other than Microsoft Excel
You can use applications other than Microsoft Excel (such as Lotus 
1-2-3 or Quattro Pro) to open and manipulate the Expense data on 
your computer. The data file is named “Expense.txt,” and is stored in 
the Expense folder, within the folder containing the organizer user 
data.
Expense data in the Expense.txt file is in tab-delimited format.
Expense file details
The Expense.txt file contains four groups of data. It will be easier to see 
these four distinct groups of data if you open the file with a 
spreadsheet application.
Trips
Shows the number of Expense application 
categories, and lists each one followed by an 
“end” statement.
Currency
Shows how many currencies were used for the 
Expense data, and lists the countries that 
correspond to that currency.
Trip
Shows the number of expenses by category, 
and lists the expenses for each category.
Expenses
Shows the total number of expenses, and lists 
them chronologically.

Appendix D
Non-ASCII Characters 
for Login Scripts
The following information enables you to create custom login scripts 
that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users 
who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a 
custom login script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If 
you send ^char, and the ASCII value of char is between @ and _, then 
the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value 
between 0 and 31. 
For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If char is a value 
between a and z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-
byte value between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the 
character sequence is not subject to any special processing.
For example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage 
return.
Carriage return and line feed
You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of 
the login script, when entered in the following format:
Sends or receives a carriage return
Sends or receives a line feed
For example, the string “waitfor Joe” waits to receive Joe 
followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer 
before executing the next command in the script. 
						

							Page 218  Non-ASCII Characters for Login Scripts
Literal characters
The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is 
transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special 
processing ordinarily associated with that character. 
Examples:
\^Includes a caret as part of the string

Warranty and 
Other Product Information
Limited warranty
HARDWARE:   Palm Computing, Inc., a subsidiary of 3Com Corporation (collectively
3Com), warrants to the original end user (Customer) that this product will be free
from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use, for one year from the
date of original purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller. 3Coms sole obligation
under this express warranty shall be, at 3Coms option and expense, to replace the prod-
uct or part with a comparable product or part, repair the product or part, or if neither
repair nor replacement is reasonably available, 3Com may, in its sole discretion, refund
to Customer the purchase price paid for the product or part. Replacement products or
parts may be new or reconditioned. 3Com warrants any replaced or repaired product
or part, and any hardware upgrade to which Customer is entitled under an agreement
between Customer and 3Com, for a period of ninety (90) days from shipment, or
through the end of the original warranty, whichever is longer. All products or parts that
are replaced become the property of 3Com.
Accessory products, as listed in the applicable 3Com catalogue, are not covered under
this Limited Warranty except for the modem for the connected organizer, the cradles,
cables, memory upgrades, and leather items sold under the 3Com
® brand. 3Com shall
not be responsible for Customers software, firmware, information, or memory data
contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to 3Com for repair,
whether under warranty or not.
SOFTWARE:   3Com warrants to Customer that the Palm™ Desktop organizer soft-
ware and Palm OS™ software licensed from it will perform in substantial conformance
to their program specifications, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original
purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller. 3Com warrants the media containing
software against failure during the warranty period. No updates are provided. 3Com
does not provide any warranty for Adobe
® Acrobat® Reader or any other third-party
applications software that is licensed to Customer by the third party. 3Coms sole obli-
gation with respect to this express warranty shall be (at 3Coms discretion) to refund the
purchase price paid by Customer for any defective software product, or to replace any
defective media with software which substantially conforms to applicable 3Com pub-
lished specifications. 3Com makes no warranty or representation that its software prod-
ucts will meet Customers requirements or will work in combination with any hardware
or applications software products provided by third parties, that the operation of the
software products will be uninterrupted or error free, or that all defects in the software
products will be corrected.

YEAR 2000 WARRANTY: In addition to the Hardware Warranty and Software War-
ranty stated above, 3Com warrants that the following date-data sensitive Palm Com-
puting
® products, namely the Pilot 1000, Pilot 5000, PalmPilot™ Personal Edition,
PalmPilot Professional Edition, and Palm III™ connected organizers, as well as all other
3Com products based on the Palm Computing platform software as of July 1, 1998 and
later, including the companion desktop software for Microsoft
® Windows® and MAC
OS
™ platforms, will continue performing properly with regard to such date-data on
and after January 1, 2000, provided that all other products used by Customer in connec-
tion or combination with the Palm Computing product, including hardware, software,
and firmware, accurately exchange date-data with the Palm Computing product. 3Com
makes no certification regarding the Year 2000 status of any other Palm Computing
products.
Any Palm Computing platform application supplied by 3Com that makes correct use of
Palm Computing platform date and time functions will not have a problem transition-
ing to the year 2000. The date and time utilities for the Palm Computing platform use 32
bits to store seconds, starting at January 1, 1904. This approach allows the correct repre-
sentation of dates through February 5, 2040. The Date Book software currently displays
dates through December 31, 2031. Provided the product is still being sold by 3Com,
3Com will make software enhancements to remove these limitations well in advance of
these dates.
If it appears that any Palm Computing product does not perform properly with regard
to such date-data on and after January 1, 2000, and Customer notifies Palm Computing
before the later of April 1, 2000, or ninety (90) days after original purchase of the product
from 3Com or its authorized reseller, 3Com shall, at its option and expense, provide a
software update which would effect the proper performance of the product, repair the
product, deliver to Customer an equivalent product to replace the product, or, if none
of the foregoing is feasible, refund to Customer the purchase price paid for the product.
Any software update or replaced or repaired Palm Computing product will carry a Year
2000 Limited Warranty for ninety (90) days after purchase or until April 1, 2000, which-
ever is later.
Customers using date and time utilities other than those supplied by Palm Computing
should check with the developer to determine if the software will correctly handle all of
the subtle issues of date and time conversion.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE:   Customer must contact a Palm Computing,
Inc. or 3Com Technical Support or Customer Service center within the applicable war-
ranty period to obtain warranty service authorization. Dated proof of original purchase
from 3Com or its authorized reseller will be required. 3Com is not responsible for Cus-
tomer products or parts received without a warranty service authorization. In the Unit-
ed States, 3Com may ship a replacement product or part prior to receiving the original
product or part (advance exchange). If advance exchange is not available, then the re-
paired product or part will be shipped as soon as reasonably possible, which will be no
later than thirty (30) days after 3Com receives the original product or part. Repaired or
replacement products will be shipped to Customer at 3Coms expense. The repair and
replacement process for products or parts in locations outside of the United States will
vary depending on Customers location. 
						

							Page 221
Products or parts shipped by Customer to 3Com must be sent prepaid and packaged
appropriately for safe shipment, and it is recommended that they be insured or sent by
a method that provides for tracking of the package. When an advance exchange is pro-
vided and Customer fails to return the original product or part to 3Com within thirty
(30) days from the date the warranty service authorization is issued, 3Com will charge
Customer the then-current published catalogue price of such product or part.
