Raising the antenna automatically opens the Applications
Launcher to the Palm.Net category. When the transmitter suc-
cessfully connects to the network, your handheld beeps.

kind of information you want.
Tip: You can set your handheld to open a specific application
whenever you raise the antenna. See “Buttons preferences” in
Chapter 8 for details.
Working with web clipping applications
Web clipping applications are designed so that you can use them as
you use any of the basic applications. The skills you learn in other
applications can be applied to working in web clipping applications.
Web clipping applications are similar to basic applications in the
following ways:
■ You tap to select an item or perform an action just as you do in
other applications on your handheld.
■ You use Graffiti
®
writing or the onscreen keyboard to enter text.
■ Elements of the interface that look familiar — edit lines, pick lists,
check boxes, scroll arrows, buttons, menus, etc. — behave in web
clipping applications as they behave in basic applications like
Address Book or Memo Pad.
■ In edit lines, you can select, cut, copy, and paste text as you do in
other applications on your handheld.
Sorted pick lists
In web clipping applications, pick lists of words sorted alphabetically
or numbers sorted in ascending order work in the same way that
Phone Lookup works: if you write the first letter of a word, the list
scrolls to the first entry that begins with that letter. If you write the first
two letters, the list scrolls to the entry that starts with those two letters;
and so on, until the letters you write identify a unique entry.
For example, when you select a state from an alphabetical list of states,
writing “m” causes the list to scroll to and select Maine. If you then
write “o,” the list selects Montana and enters it in the field.
