Common Tasks; Creating Records - Handspring Treo 90 User Manual

Chapter 5

Common Tasks

Your Treo™ 90 handheld includes a full suite of personal information manager (PIM) applications:
Date Book Plus, Contacts, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense. This chapter provides instructions
on how to do tasks that are common to these applications. It's easy to transfer what you learn in
one application to the other applications because the structure and behavior of these applications
are quite similar.
Throughout this chapter, the term "record" is used to refer to an individual item in any of the PIM
applications: a single Date Book Plus event, Contacts entry, To Do List item, Memo Pad memo,
or Expense item.
