Palm 461 manual Beaming, Using the Send command with the VersaMail application

CHAPTER 20 Sharing Information

Tip

For best results when beaming, the handhelds should be between 4 and 39 inches (10 centimeters and one meter) apart, and there should be a clear path between them.

Tip

Beaming works best for smaller items. If you have larger items, you can use

Bluetooth wireless

technology. Expansion cards are convenient for sharing very large items.
