Your handheld comes with a Security application so that 
unauthorized users cannot view the entries you wish to protect. 
In Security, you can do the following:

appears greyed out.
nHide all records that you mark as private so they do not appear 
on any screen. 
You can mask or hide private records with or without a password. 
Without a password, private records are hidden until you set the 
Security application to show them, or they are masked until you tap 
the private record. With a password, you must enter the password 
to view the private entries. See “Making records private” in 
Chapter 4 for information on making records private.

restore all synchronized data at the next HotSync

If you synchronize with your computer before deleting 
a forgotten password, your handheld restores your 
private entries the next time you perform a HotSync 
operation, but it does not restore the password.

Using Your Applications
Your Palm™ m100 series handheld includes these applications:
nDate Book
nAddress Book
nTo Do List
nNote Pad
nMemo Pad
nClock
nCalculator
This chapter is divided into three sections:
n“Overview of applications” briefly describes each application 
and explains how to open it.
n“Common tasks” gives instructions on how to do tasks that you 
can do in most or all of the applications. It’s easy to transfer what 
you learn in one application to the others because the structure 
and behavior of all the applications are quite similar.
n“Application-specific tasks” is organized by application and 
gives instructions on how to do tasks that are specific to each 
application.
