Palm TREOPROBLKSPT manual Closing Applications

Closing Applications

Applications that you open stay open in the background if you are not using them. If you want to close an application (stop it from running in the background), you can tap the X in the upper-right corner of the application, or you can do it with Task Manager. Closing an application is usually not necessary; but if you’re concerned about power usage or want to free up memory, close some or all applications.

1.Press and hold OK to open Task Manager.

2.Do one of the following:

■To view programs in order of memory usage, tap Usage. (Tap again to reverse the order.)

■To close one or more individual programs, check the boxes next to the programs and select Stop Selected.

■To close all programs except the ones you specify, check the boxes next to the programs you do not want to close, press Menu (right softkey), and select Stop All but Selected.

■To close all open programs, select Stop All.

Tip

If an X appears in the upper-right corner of an application screen, you can tap the X with the stylus to close the application. You can turn this feature on and off or change it so that tapping X sends the application to the background but does not close it. Press and hold OK to open Task Manager, select the Button tab, and then select the option you want.

You can also close applications by tapping the Running Programs icon in the upper-right corner of the Today screen and then tapping the Close icon by the program name.
