Managing Your
Applications
This chapter explains how to switch between applications on your PC
companion, how to change application settings so they are
personalized to your work methods, and how to categorize
applications so you view them in related groups. For information
about working with applications on an expansion card, see Chapter 4.

Using the Applications Launcher

To open the Applications Launcher, tap the Applications icon .

Selecting applications

Your PC companion is equipped with a variety of applications. All the
applications installed on your PC companion appear in the
Applications Launcher. See "Opening applications" in Chapter 1 for
details. Applications installed on an expansion card appear
immediately in the Applications Launcher when you insert an
expansion card, or when you select the card from the pick list in the
upper-right screen. See "Opening expansion card applications" in
Chapter 4 for details.

Switching between applications

When working in any application, tap the Applications icon or
press an application button on the front panel of your PC companion
to switch to another application. Your PC companion automatically
saves your work in the current application and displays it when you
return to that application. You can also switch between applications
on your PC companion and applications on expansion cards. See
"Switching between your PC companion and an expansion card" in
Chapter 4 for details.
