Using File Link
The File Link feature lets you add Address Book and Memo Pad
information to your watch from a separate external file such as a
company phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate
category in Palm Desktop software and on your watch. You can set
the File Link feature to check for changes to the external file when
you perform a HotSync operation.
