ShortCut. See page 30 for information on the use of ShortCuts.

Creating a ShortCut

You can create a ShortCut for any words, letters, or numbers. All
ShortCuts you create appear on the list in the ShortCut Preferences
screen. All the ShortCuts are available in any of your phone applications
and are backed up on your computer when you perform a HotSync
operation.

line, enter the letters you want to use to

activate the ShortCut.

area and enter the text that you want to

appear when you type the ShortCut characters.

Tip:

You may want to add a space (space character) after the last word in
