Using your personal computer keyboard

If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can use Palm™ Desktop software, or any supported PIM, to enter information. You can then perform a HotSync® operation to synchronize the information on your personal computer with the information on your handheld computer. All the main applications on your handheld computer are available in Palm Desktop software and in most PIMs.

Refer to Palm Desktop online Help for more information on entering data on your personal computer.
