Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in Scripts
The following information enables you to create a custom log-in script that 
require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who 
understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log-in 
script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send 
^char, and the ASCII value of character 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 the character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is 
translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If the character 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 log-in 
script, when they are 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.
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
 \< : Includes a < as part of the string
 \ \ : Includes a backslash as part of the string

Customizing the HotSync® application 
settings (Conduit)
The programs handling data of each application during the 
HotSync® operation are called “conduit.”
For each application, you can define a set of options that determine how data 
is handled during synchronization. By default, the HotSync

synchronizes all data between your CLIÉ handheld and the Palm™ Desktop for 
CLIÉ software.
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List and 
Memo Pad, the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software offers System and Install 
conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your 
CLIÉ handheld. The Install conduit installs add-on applications to your CLIÉ 
handheld. You can select them as needed.
1Click the HotSync   icon in the Windows task tray and 
select Custom from the HotSync Manager Shortcut menu.
You can also select Custom from the HotSync menu of the Palm™ 
Desktop for CLIÉ software.
The Custom window is displayed.
2Select the user name you are using on your CLIÉ handheld 
from the list at the top.
