Notice the drop-down menu
above the “site” text field. This
is the “category” menu, where you
can choose the category into which
your new bookmark fits. The default
setting in this menu is “unfiled.” Tap
the down arrow to the right of this
menu. The selections that appear are
“favorites,” “unfiled,” and “edit
categories...”. Tap “edit categories...”.

You are returned to the “websites”
state of the Address Book
application. This screen has a
category drop-down menu as well.
The default setting for this menu
is “all,” meaning that it is displaying
all bookmarks in all categories.
Since your only bookmark is the
Yahoo bookmark you just added,
that is the only one displayed below
the category drop-down. If you tap
on the category drop-down menu
and select “search engines,” you
will also see your Yahoo bookmark,
but selecting any other category
will display no bookmarks.
3
The “Edit Categories” screen
appears,
where you can add a
category in addition to the “favorites”
and “unfiled” categories already in
existence. Add your new Yahoo
bookmark to a new category called
“search engines” by simply tapping
“add,” then typing “search engines,”
and then tapping “okay.” When the
“edit categories” menu re-appears tap
“okay.” Now when you tap in the cat-
egories drop-down menu, you will
see a “search engines” category.
Tap this category so that it fills the
category text field. The only URL
that appears in this category is the
one for Yahoo that you just entered,
but you can add more search engine
URLs to this category in the future.
Tap “done.”

Tap the text “Yahoo!”
in the book-
mark display. This launches
a new menu. In this menu, you
can tap “edit” to change any of the
bookmark’s properties. You can also
tap “attach to email” to launch the
Mail application. This opens to a
blank e-mail with the corresponding
URL attached, ready to send to a
recipient (see the Mail section on
page 33
for more information).
Tap “done” when finished to
return to the “websites” state of
the Address Book.
6
When you return to the “websites”
state of the Address Book,
tap the
thumbnail image of the Yahoo home
page visible in the main bookmark
view. This launches the Browser
application and loads the Yahoo
home page. This is how you should
launch all bookmarked URLs from
the “websites” state of the Address
Book application.
As you can see, the Browser is a
powerful tool for surfing the Web.
Its interaction with the Address
Book’s “websites” state simplifies
the work of bookmarking your
favorite pages and attaching URLs
to e-mail messages. For more
information about customizing the
Browser application, see the Actions
Palette section on
page 41

Drag the stylus over the “URL” text
field to highlight the current text.
Type “www.yahoo.com” and press
ENTER. The Browser loads the
home page of this popular search
engine. Next, tap the “bookmark”
button in the Browser control panel.
The Address Book application
launches, opening in its “websites”
state. You’ll notice that “Yahoo!” is
automatically entered into the “site”
text field and the site’s URL,
“
http://www.yahoo.com
”, is entered
into the “URL” field. To the right of
the “site” text field is a small snap-
shot of the Yahoo home page.
If you wish to add a note to your
bookmark, tap inside the “note”
text field and type your note using
the Audrey keyboard.

Tap “home.”
The Web page set as
Audrey’s home page,
www.go.com
,
loads again. See the Actions Palette
section on
page 41
for more
information about changing the
default home page to a different URL.
6
Tap the down arrow
to the right
of the “url” text field. A list of
the URLs you’ve visited appears.
Tap “
www.3Com.com
” in this list.
The 3Com Corporation home page
loads again. You can use this drop-
down menu to quickly re-load any
recently-visited URL.
7
The “stop” and “reload” buttons
are more difficult to demonstrate,
as they have very specific uses.
You can tap the “stop” button
to cancel any current download
activity (for example, if you are in
the middle of a download that is
taking longer than you’d like to
wait). The “reload” function is handy
for refreshing pages that feature
frequently-updated information,
such as stock prices, weather
maps, or opinion polls.

Note:
A search engine is a Web site
that allows you to search for key
words and phrases used on other
Web sites. For instance, you could
find a site about vacationing
in Hawaii by entering the terms
“cruises Hawaii travel.”
