This chapter describes how to import information from a file on your
computer to an application on your Newton device. To learn about importing
information into your Newton Works application, see Chapter 8, “Importing
Into Newton Works.”
About importing
You can import information from your computer to your Newton device in the
following ways:
m
Direct import:
The Newton Connection Utilities come with translators that
convert files created by popular PIM (personal information manager)
applications into information on your Newton device.
For a list of translators included with the Newton Connection Utilities, see
the Read Me file that comes with the utilities.
m
Text files:
Many applications can create plain or delimited text files. You
can import from a text file when no translator exists for the application you
want to use.
IMPORTANT
It’s a good idea to make a backup of information on your Newton
device before you import. For more information on backing up your
Newton device, see Chapter 2, “Backing Up and Restoring Information.”
