Palm Tungsten T5 Using the 5-way navigator, Opening files and folders from within an application

CHAPTER 3 Moving Around in Applications

Did You Know?

If you use a command to open a file from within an application, only files that can be opened by that application are displayed. For example, in RealPlayer, only music files such as MP3 or RMJ files are displayed.

Tip

You must use the stylus to tap icons in the input area or on the status bar.

Opening files and folders from within an application

In certain applications—for example, Documents, palmOne Media, and RealPlayer from palmOne—you can open a file or folder directly from within the application. The application automatically displays files located in the appropriate folder on your handheld’s internal drive—for example, when you open the RealPlayer application, files in the Music folder on the internal drive are displayed—but you can browse for files located elsewhere on the drive. See the application chapters for information on opening files.

Switching between applications

You can switch between applications at any time. Just press Home and select an icon from Favorites or Applications, or press a quick button. Your handheld automatically saves your work in the current application and switches to the other application.

Using the 5-way navigator

The 5-way navigator, located at the bottom of the front panel, lets you access information quickly with one hand and without the stylus.To use the 5-way, press Up, Down, Right, Left, or Center.

The 5-way does various things based on which type of screen you’re on.
