CHAPTER 2
Finding and Opening Files and Applications
Using Files
The Files application enables you to easily open, view, and move among the files and folders on 
your handheld’s internal flash drive or on an expansion card inserted into your handheld’s 
expansion slot. 
To open Files, press the Files button
on the front of your handheld. Select a file or folder to
open it. Select the Folder Up icon
to move up one level of folders.
Files contains four folders that always appear at the top of the folder list: Applications,
Documents, Music, and Photos & Videos. Place your applications and files in the correct folder so 
that you can easily locate them.
Opening files and folders from within an application
In certain applications—for example, Documents, palmOne Media, and RealPlayer from 
palmOne—you can open a file or folder directly from within the application. The application 
automatically displays files located in the appropriate folder on your handheld’s internal drive—for 
example, the Music folder for RealOne—but you can browse for files located elsewhere on the 
drive. See the application chapters for information on opening files.
Tip
 your Files display by 
file type, file name, date, 
or size.
Did You Know?
If you select a file from 
within Files, it 
automatically opens in 
the correct application on 
your handheld. If there is 
no application for that 
file, a beep alert sounds.
Tip
If you have an expansion 
card (sold separately) 
inserted in your 
handheld’s expansion 
slot, select the card icon 
in Files to view the 
contents of the card.
Tip
Tap and hold the stylus 
on a file or folder to open 
a menu of actions you 
can do with that item—
copy, delete, and so on.
