Using File Link
The File Link feature enables you to import Contacts and Memos information, such
as a company phone list, to your handheld from a separate external file on your
Windows computer. You can configure the File Link feature to check for changes
to the external file when you perform a HotSync operation. HotSync Manager
stores the data in a separate category in Palm Desktop software and on your
handheld.
With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following formats:
Comma-separated (*.csv)
