Graffiti 2 tips
When using Graffiti 2 writing, keep the following tips in mind:
• For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokes that
nearly fill the text input area are easily interpreted.
• To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of the
character you want to delete, and draw the Backspace stroke (a line
from right to left) in the text input area.
• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors.
• Do not write at a slant. Keep vertical strokes parallel to the sides of
the text input area.
• When letters and numbers can be written using two different
strokes, use the one that’s easiest for you.
• Press firmly.
16.Installing add-on applications
Many applications such as Date Book, Address Book,To Do List
and Note Mail are pre-installed for your convenience, you can use them
without extra installation.
You can install other applications into your Palm computer
such as games and other software.
Install Tool makes the installation easy when you are using
Hotsync. Many third-party applications can also be installed in the Palm
OS G18.
1.From your computer desktop, copy or download the applications
you want to install into the add-on folder in your Palm Desktop
directory.
Note: If the application is compressed, for example, *.zip file,
uncompress the application into the add-on folder before continuing. To
save your application to other directories, browse to that directory before
you finish step 5. Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on your computer
desktop to open it; then click Install.
