Installing and removing applications
This section explains how to install and remove applications on your 
organizer and how to remove Palm™ Desktop organizer software 
from your computer.
Installing add-on applications
Your organizer comes with the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, 
Memo Pad, Expense, Calculator, and Mail applications installed and 
ready to use.
Your organizer also contains several built-in query applications; so 
after you activate the wireless communication service, you have 
immediate access to Internet information.
The CD-ROM containing Palm Desktop software also contains many 
more query applications. You can transfer these to your computer at 
the same time that you install the software. These query applications 
are stored in the Add-on folder, and you can add them to your 
organizer using the Install Tool.
You can also install additional applications on your organizer, such as 
games and other software, including more query applications. Many 
third-party applications are available for your organizer. The web site 
http://www.palm.net has more information about these 
applications.
Note:Any game or application that you install on your organizer 
resides in RAM memory; you can delete it at any time. See 
“Removing applications” later in this chapter for more 
information.
With the Install Tool and HotSync
® technology, you can easily install 
software on your organizer.
To install add-on software on your organizer:
1. Using your desktop computer, copy or download the application 
you want to install into the Add-on folder in your Palm Desktop 
directory.
Note:If the software you download is compressed, you need to 
decompress it into this folder. If you prefer to place the 
application into another folder, you need to navigate to 
that folder before you complete step 5.
2. Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on your desktop. 
						

							Chapter 3 Page 49
3. Click Install.
Tip:You can also access the Install Tool dialog box by 
selecting Install Tool from the Palm Desktop program 
group or by double-clicking any file with a PDB, PRC, or 
PQA file extension. 
						

							Page 50  Managing Your Applications
4. In the User drop-down list, select the name that corresponds to 
your organizer.
5. Click Add. 
To see a list of just the query applications that are on your com-
puter, in Files of type, select the option for files with the PQA 
extension.
6. Select the application(s) that you want to install on your organizer.
7. Click Open.
Note:Review the list of applications you selected in the Install 
Tool dialog box. If you do not want to install an 
application, select it, and then click Remove. (This does 
not remove the application from your computer; it simply 
removes it from the list of applications to install.)
8. Perform a HotSync operation to install the application(s) you 
selected in step 6. See “Exchanging and updating data: HotSync 
operations” in Chapter 4 for details.
By default, query applications appear on your organizer in the 
Palm.Net category of the Applications Launcher.
Installing games
The CD-ROM also includes several games that you can install with the 
Install Tool:
nGiraffe
nHardBall
nMineHunt
nPuzzle 
nSubHunt 
						

							Chapter 3 Page 51
During Install, these games are automatically copied to the \Add-on 
folder in your Palm Desktop directory on your computer.
Note:Giraffe is a fun, easy way for you to practice Graffiti
® writing.
After you install and start a game, the instructions appear in the Game 
menu. Depending on the game, the Game menu may also contain 
commands to show high scores, to start a new game, or to set 
preferences for the game.
Removing applications
In the event that you run out of memory or decide that you no longer 
need an application you installed, you can remove applications from 
your organizer. You can remove only add-on applications, patches, 
and extensions that you install; you cannot remove the applications 
that reside in the ROM portion of your organizer.
To remove an add-on application: 
1. Tap the Applications icon  . 
2. Tap the Menu icon  . 
3. Tap App, and then tap Delete.
4. Tap the application that you want to remove.
5. Tap Delete.
6. Tap Yes.
