Psion Teklogix 32M/64M, netBook manual Additional disks & programs

Additional disks & programs

You can insert Memory disks into the tray on the left hand side of the netBook. You might use them as additional memory for storing files, or to add more programs to the netBook.

∙If a Memory disk contains additional programs: their icons will automatically appear in the Extras bar when you insert the disk. They will be removed from the Extras bar when you take out the disk.

∙To delete all the files on a Memory disk: put it in the slot, and then select the Format disk command from the Disk menu; select ‘D’ as the ‘Disk’ in the Format disk dialog. Do not format the ‘C’ disk - this will remove all the files you have stored on the netBook’s Internal disk, and remove all the preferences and settings that you have set up.

There are four additional Apps icons at the edge of the screen. Any programs appearing in the Extras bar can be allocated one of these icons so that they can be launched with one tap of the pen. To do this, tap the Extras icon on the Toolbar then tap the word ‘Extras’ on the title bar and select the appropriate program for each of the User Application entries. This may be particularly useful if you have loaded a new program which you will often use.

If you wish to run a translated OPL program, locate the file in the System screen, highlight the filename and tap it or press Enter to run it.

Can I run Series 3/3a/3c/3mx/5/5mx programs on a netBook?

There are no major differences between OPL for Series 3/5 machines and OPL for the netBook. If you have written programs in OPL on a Series 3/5, you should be able to translate them so that you can run them on a netBook. Series 3/3a/3c/3mx applications (which are not written as OPL programs) will not run on a netBook, however, applications written for Series5/5mx should work but may not scale to cover the full screen size.
