Upgrading from a "previous" DateMate version:
We suggest you first import your evens to the Memo-Pad (for backup).
Install the new DateMate version into your PalmPilot.
Note: There is NO need to delete the previous version, it will be replaced automatically,
and all data will remain untouched.
Installing Event Lists:
Save the event list in a known place on your computer as a text file (.txt suffix).
Now, open the Palm Desktop software, select the "Memo" icon and then select
"Import..." from the "File" Menu. In the file box which opens, select to search
for text files by pressing the "Files of type..." menu and selecting "Text (.txt)"
files. Browse to the file you saved earlier, select it and press "Open". A "Specify
Import Fields" window will be opened. Deselect "Private" and "Category" so that
only "Memo" is selected (checked) . Now press OK. The file's contents will be
displayed as a memo in the Palm Desktop window. HotSync the Palm - the new memo
will be downloaded into your Palm.
On your Palm: Open the "Import Events" window in DateMate
using the Main Menu, and select "Memo Pad". Select the memo containing a list
of events from the 'Memo' option menu. If the events in the list are repeating
events (e.g. birthdays), check the "Repeating" box. You can also instruct DateMate
to add alarms for the imported events. The default alarm setting will be used
for ALL imported events.
