Page 130 Query Applications and the iMessenger™ Application
To open a query application:
1. Raise the antenna, located on the right side of your organizer.
Raising the antenna automatically opens the Applications
Launcher to the Palm.Net category. When the transmitter suc-
cessfully connects to the network, your organizer beeps.
2. Tap the query application that queries the Internet for the kind of
information you want.
Tip: You can set your organizer to open a specific application
whenever you raise the antenna. See “Buttons preferences” in
Chapter 8 for details.
Working with query applications
Query applications are designed so that you can use them as you use
any of the basic applications. The skills you learn in other applications
can be applied to working in query applications.
Query applications are similar to basic applications in the following
ways:
■ You tap to select an item or perform an action just as you do in
other applications on your organizer.
■ You use Graffiti ® writing or the onscreen keyboard to enter text.
■ Elements of the interface that look familiar — edit lines, pick lists,
check boxes, scroll arrows, buttons, menus, etc. — behave in query
applications as they behave in basic applications like Address
Book or Memo Pad.
To ensure the best reception: If
you are holding the organizer
in your hand, raise the antenna
to its position at 135
° , located
at the second click you feel as
you raise the antenna. If the
organizer is on a flat surface,
raise the antenna to its position
at 90
° .
