- Installing
-
- This archive contains the files:
-
-
-
-
- TEALGLNC.DOC This doc in text format
- TEALGLNC.HTM This doc in HTML format
- TEALGLNC.PRC The 'TealGlance!' program file
- CALLGLNC.PRC The 'CallGlance' activating application, appears as 'Teal Glance'
- HACKMSTR.PRC The 'HackMaster' System Extensions Manager
- REGISTER.HTM TealPoint Registration form in HTML format
- REGISTER.DOC TealPoint Registration form in text format
-
-
-
- Important note: Before updating or deleting any Hackmaster program,
- be sure to disable the application first in the Hackmaster control screen.
-
-
- 'TealGlance!' uses the 'HackMaster' System Extensions Manager by Edward Keyes
- (*See references below). This is a safe and standard way to add and
- manage extended system functionality on the Pilot.
-
- Use the Pilot installer to install the program file 'TEALGLNC.PRC',
- 'CALLGLNC.PRC',
- and 'HACKMSTR.PRC'. 'CallGlance!' will appear as a standard
- program labeled 'Teal Glance' (with space), but the real program appears and is
- activated only through 'HackMaster'.
- To turn on 'TealGlance!', simply click on the 'HackMaster' icon
- in the applications launcher, and click on the checkmark next to the
- 'TealGlance!' entry in the 'Hacks' list.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Using the Program
-
- By default, 'TealGlance!' is automatically activated when you turn
- on your Pilot using the green power button. The information window will
- pop up and disappear after a configurable time limit. To make the window
- disappear sooner, just click anywhere with the pen or press one of the
- buttons on the Pilot, such as the up and down scroll buttons. If you
- hold down the pen, TealGlance will stay on screen.
-
- As an alternate way to bring up TealGlance, use the CallGlance program
- (appears as 'Teal Glance' in the App launcher). The display will
- come up, updating itself every 30 seconds until another application is
- selected.
-
- To configure 'TealGlance!', activate the Hackmaster application
- and click on the plus (+) button next to 'TealGlance!'. Here, you
- can adjust the format of the popup window, as well as set the time
- it stays on screen. Additionally you may enter a keyword you receive
- when you register the product to remove the 'Please Register' text
- in the popup window. When you enter the password, the entry line in
- the config screen will still be there.
-
-
- NOTE: Pilot OS2.0 (personal and professional) filters out empty ToDo
- categories from appearing in the settings menu.

- to upper right twice in succession)
-
- Backlight Display
- Allows automatic activation of backlight at powerup either all
- the time or only between 6pm and 9am.
-
-
- Datebook events appear in chronological order by start time, and are
- included up to an hour after start time (in case you're running late).
