Using your computer keyboard

At times, you may prefer to use your computer keyboard rather than the onscreen keyboard to enter or modify information on your console.

You can enter information from your computer keyboard using Palm™ Desktop software or any supported desktop organizer installed for use with your console. You can then perform a HotSync operation to synchronize the information on your computer with the information you entered on your console. All the Organizer applications on your console are available in Palm Desktop software and in most desktop organizer software.

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