handheld or an expansion card. You can also open Date Book, Address Book, the 
MyPalm™ mobile portal, and MultiMail
® Deluxe with the application buttons on

first letter of its name. The Applications Launcher scrolls to the first application 
with a name that begins with that letter.
Opening expansion card applications

application button on the front panel of your handheld to switch to another 
application. Your handheld automatically saves your work in the current 
application and displays it when you return to that application. 
When you use an expansion card, your handheld creates and displays a new 
category that matches the name of the expansion card. You can easily switch 
between applications installed on your handheld and on the expansion card.

NOTEIf you copy applications between your handheld and multiple 
expansion cards, and then attach a card with a copied application to a Card 
Reader/Writer, you may notice that the copied application’s filename has been 
changed to the name of a database file it contains. You will only see this if you 
use your cards with a Card Reader/Writer.
Using menus
Menus on your handheld are easy to use. Once you have mastered them in one 
application, you can use them the same way in all other applications.
The menus of each application are illustrated in the chapter on that application.
To open the menu bar:
1.Open an application (such as Memo Pad).
2.Do one of the following:
–Tap the Menu icon  .  
						

							Chapter 6 Working with Applications
78
–Tap on the inverted title area at the top of the screen.
In this example, three menus are available: Record, Edit, and Options. The Record 
menu is selected and contains the commands New Memo, Delete Memo, and Beam 
Memo.
Choosing a menu
After you open the menu bar for an application, tap the menu that contains the 
command you want to use.
The menus and menu commands that are available depend on the application that 
is currently open. Also, the menus and menu commands vary depending on which 
part of the application you’re currently using. For example, in Memo Pad, the 
menus are different for the Memo list screen and the Memo screen.
Graffiti menu commands
Most menu commands have an equivalent Graffiti Command stroke, which is 
similar to the keyboard shortcuts used to execute commands on computers. The 
command letters appear to the right of the command names. 
Draw the Command stroke anywhere in the Graffiti area. When you draw the 
Command stroke, the Command toolbar appears just above the Graffiti writing 
area to indicate that you are in Command mode.

The command toolbar displays context sensitive menu commands for the current 
screen. For example, if text is selected the menu icons displayed may be undo, cut, 
copy, and paste. Tap on an icon to select the command, or immediately write the 
corresponding command letter for an appropriate command in the Graffiti writing 
area.
For example, to choose Select All in the Edit menu, draw the Command stroke, 
followed by the letter “s.”
Command mode is only active for a short time, so you must tap an icon or write 
the command letter immediately to choose the menu command. 
Choosing application preferences
You can set options that affect an entire application in the application’s Preferences 
dialog box.
To change preferences for an application: 
1.Open an application.
2.Tap the Menu icon  .

Do List item, Note Pad note, or Memo Pad memo.
