Plug-in applications

You can create plug-in applications containing script commands that 
extend the functionality of the built-in script commands. A plug-in 
application is a standard .PRC application that you install on your 
organizer just like any other application. After you install the plug-in 
application, you can use the new script commands in a login script. 

Plug-in applications have the following characteristics:

■

Written in C language 

■

Compiled into a device executable

■

Called properly from a login script

■

Able to return control to a login script after it terminates

■

Created using a development environment that supports the Palm 

OS™ software, such as Metrowerks Code Warrior

For additional information on creating plug-in applications, send 
e-mail to Palm Developer Support at [email protected].

Deleting a service template

There is only one way to delete a service template: use the Delete 
command from the Service menu.

To delete a service template:

1. Tap the Service pick list.

2. Tap the service template you want to delete.

3. Tap the Menu icon 

. 

4. Tap Service, and then tap Delete.

5. Tap OK.

Network preferences menu commands

The Network Preferences screen includes menu commands to make it 
fast and easy to create and edit service templates. TCP/IP application 
menus are shown here for your reference. See “Using menus” in 
Chapter 1 for more information about choosing menu commands.
