20 Chapter 1 Overview of Bento
Home Dialog
When you first open Bento, you use the Home dialog to learn about Bento, to display
Address Book and iCal records in Bento, and to create your first library.
Tip: You can use the Home dialog every time you start Bento. If you decide that you
don’t need the Home dialog, choose Bento
> Preferences and clear the “Display
Home dialog” checkbox.
To see how easy it is to use,
take a video tour of Bento.
Display Address Book and iCal
information in Bento, and you can
use the data in other libraries, too.
Bento uses libraries to store
information. One way to start using
Bento is by creating a library.
When you’re done with the Home dialog,
click this button to start using Bento.
Clear this checkbox if
you don’t need the
Home dialog.
