Graffiti writing comes with several predefined ShortCuts, and you can also create
your own. Each ShortCut can represent up to 45 characters. For example, you
might create a ShortCut for your name or for the header of a memo. See “ShortCuts
preferences” in Chapter 18 to learn about creating your own ShortCuts.
To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke followed by the ShortCut characters.
The ShortCut symbol appears at the insertion point to show that you are in
ShortCut mode.
Your handheld includes the predefined Graffiti ShortCuts shown in the following
table.
Beaming data
Your handheld is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that is located at the top of
the handheld, behind the small dark shield. The IR port supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by the
Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that not only can you beam data to
another Palm OS
®
handheld that’s close by and equipped with an IR port, but you
can also beam data to a mobile phone and to any other device that supports the
IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards and that can read the type of data
you’re beaming.
You can beam the following information between devices with an IR port:
■ The record currently displayed in Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Note
Pad, Palm Photos, or Memo Pad
■ All records of the category currently displayed in Address Book, To Do List,
Note Pad, Palm Photos, or Memo Pad
