Using Note Pad

In addition to using Graffiti characters and the onscreen keyboard,
you can enter data on your handheld using the Note Pad
application. When you use Note Pad, you write quick notes directly
on the handheld screen in your own handwriting. Later, you can
enter this information into another application, or delete it. See
"Note Pad" in Chapter 4 for more information and instructions.
To use Note Pad:
1. Press the Note Pad application button
your handheld.
2. Write the information directly on the handheld screen.
3. Tap Done.

Using your computer keyboard

If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer
keyboard, you can use Palm™ Desktop software or any supported
PIM to enter information. You can then perform a HotSync
operation to synchronize the information on your computer with
the information on your handheld. Most of the applications that
came with your handheld are also available in Palm Desktop
software and in most PIMs, so you don't need to learn different
applications. For more information on entering data on your
computer, refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop software, the
Quick Tour in Palm Desktop software (for Windows users), and the
Palm Desktop Software for the Macintosh User's Guide on the Palm
Desktop software CD-ROM.

Using an external keyboard accessory

You can connect an optional keyboard accessory to the serial
connector on your handheld and type data directly into your
handheld. This accessory is very helpful if you need to enter large
amounts of data quickly while you are away from your computer.
