Using the desktop software

The "Getting started" chapter provided instructions to install the
desktop software and connect the cradle to your PC. This chapter
shows you how to use the software to get the most from your
handheld.
The desktop software can synchronize contacts, appointments,
memos, and tasks between your handheld and PC. You can also
backup any important information from the handheld to your PC,
edit the Address Book and AutoText files, restore data back to the
handheld, and load new applications onto the handheld, all using
the desktop software's convenient Windows interface.

AutoText files: create new entries, edit existing entries, and delete
the entries on your PC.
