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.
Creating records
You can use the following procedure to create a new record in Date Book Plus, Contacts, To Do
List, Memo Pad, and Expense.
To create a record:
1. Open the application in which you want to create a record.
2. Press Menu .
3. Under Record, select New… (/N).
4. In Date Book Plus only: Select start and end times for your event, and then hold Option
and press Return .
5. Enter text for the record.
Note: You do not have to press Shift to capitalize the first letter of the name. Your
handheld automatically capitalizes the first letter of each field (except numeric and
e-mail fields).
6. Use the scroll buttons or tap a field directly to move between fields.
7. (Optional) Tap Details to select attributes for the record.
8. In Contacts only: Hold Option and press Return to finish.
There’s no need to save the record because your handheld saves it automatically.
