The Palm
™
Desktop software for IBM WorkPad you install on your computer includes
the same main applications as your WorkPad PC companion: Address Book, Date
Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, and desktop e-mail connectivity. You can use
the HotSync
®
Manager feature of this software to back up and exchange data between
your WorkPad PC companion and your computer.
Notes:
If you are using Microsoft Outlook or other organizer software instead of
Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad, you still need to complete the following

for the other organizer software.
NT users must have write privileges to install new software and should
install in their user’s account, not the administrator account.
