Applications

Operations on the Organizer are performed using applications. The Organizer’s Calendar and Schedule, for example, are applications that record and display time related information. To start an application, press the corresponding key on the top of the keyboard.

When working in one application, you can switch to another application simply by pressing that application key. Data being processed in the first application will be saved, even if the entry is not complete.

Menu operations

Another powerful aspect of using the Organizer is its menu system, which can be used to quickly issue commands and perform operations. Two universal menus, PREFERENCES and TOOLS, are available from all applications. In addition, all

Pop-up menus

The Organizer’s pop-up menus offer a convenient and efficient method of selecting options from pre-defined lists, similar to many of the latest personal computer application software packages. Most applications and functions contain some pop up fields. When the user moves to one of these fields, the pop- up symbol appears on the right of the field. Pressing [ I ] causes the pop-up menu to appear, containing a list of options or values currently available for that field. You can then select the desired item from the list without having to type any text.

In addition, all date fields function as pop-up fields. Whether a date can be entered, the user can press [I ] to display the special pop-up one-month calendar. You can use [PREV] and [NEXT] to select the desired month, then the arrow keys to select the desired date. You may find this more convenient than typing in the date directly, since the pop-up calendar also shows the days of the week.
