Importing Data From A Mac Computer - Palm Zire 21 Handbook

Using File Link
The File Link feature enables you to import Address Book and Memo Pad
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)
Memo Pad archive (*.mpa)
Address Book archive (*.aba)
Text (*.txt)
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop online Help.
