7.5.4 Opening netpad Files From Your PC

You can open a file on your netpad using a PC application without first having to
copy it to your PC drive. You can edit the file on your PC and then save it back to
your netpad when you have finished.
1. To open a file from Windows Explorer, double-click on the file icon or
press Enter. A dialogue box appears in which you can select the type of
file you wish to use on your PC.
2. Select the file type suitable for the application you will use to edit the
file on your PC.
3. Click on the Convert button to copy the file and convert it to the chosen
PC file type. PsiWin opens the converted file using the PC application
associated with the file type, e.g. Paint for a Bitmap Image (*.bmp)
file, or Notepad for a Text (*.txt) file.
When you save the file within the PC application, PsiWin saves the edited file back
to your netpad. A dialogue box appears which allows you to select the file type for
the edited file. Select the appropriate file type for your netpad, and then select
Convert to copy the file back to your netpad. PsiWin makes a backup copy of the
original file, which is renamed with a '.bak' suffix, e.g. a file named 'Document' is
backed up as 'Document.bak'.
Important: Don't delete the backup version of the file from your netpad until
you are sure you want to use the edited version instead.
Further help: See the online Help for more information on how to open netpad files
on your PC.

7.6 Backing Up Your netpad With PsiWin

7.6.1 Performing Your First Backup

You can use PsiWin to back up all the files stored on your netpad to your PC.
Keeping backups of your netpad files on your PC means that you have a separate
copy of all your work that can be restored to your netpad. For example, you can
restore backed up files to your netpad if you accidentally delete a file, wish to revert
back to an older version of a file, or need to restore files if you forget to change
the batteries.
