If you’re in one folder and move an item to another folder,
the item will seem to disappear, because it moves
immediately to another folder.

Organizing and Finding Information
For example, you may want to create a folder called
“Friends” in the Name File and you don’t want that folder to
show up in any other application. You can make the
“Friends” folder local to the Name File.
Your MessagePad comes with four global folders that are
already named—Unfiled, Business, Miscellaneous, and
Personal. These folders, except for Unfiled, can be renamed
or deleted.
Note: If you reach the limit of 12 global folders and want to
create another folder, a message appears telling you that the
folder will be created only in the current application (so it
becomes a local folder). If you reach the limit of 12 global
and 12 local folders, a message appears telling you that you
cannot create any more folders.
You can also file items into folders on a storage card. For
more information, see “Filing Information on a Storage
Card” in the chapter “Using Storage and Application Cards.”
