Page 130 Query Applications and the iMessenger™ Application

To open a query application:

1. Raise the antenna, located on the right side of your organizer.

Raising the antenna automatically opens the Applications

Launcher to the Palm.Net category. When the transmitter suc-

cessfully connects to the network, your organizer beeps.

2. Tap the query application that queries the Internet for the kind of

information you want.

Tip: You can set your organizer to open a specific application

whenever you raise the antenna. See “Buttons preferences” in

Chapter 8 for details.

Working with query applications

Query 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 query applications.

Query 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 organizer.

■ 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 query

applications as they behave in basic applications like Address

Book or Memo Pad.

To ensure the best reception: If

you are holding the organizer

in your hand, raise the antenna

to its position at 135

, located

at the second click you feel as

you raise the antenna. If the

organizer is on a flat surface,

raise the antenna to its position

at 90

90°

135°
