TCP/IP server before executing the next command.
Wait For PromptDetects a challenge-response prompt coming from the server 
and then displays the dynamically generated challenge

Plug-in applications
You can create plug-in applications containing script commands that extend the 
functionality of the built-in script commands. A plug-in application is a standard 
PRC application that you install on your handheld just like any other application. 
After you install the plug-in application, you can use the new script commands in 
a login script. 
Plug-in applications have the following characteristics:
■Written in C language 
■Compiled into a device executable
■Called properly from a login script
■Able to return control to a login script after it terminates
■Created using a development environment that supports Palm OS software, 
such as Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Palm™ Platform
For additional information on creating plug-in applications, send e-mail to Palm 
Developer Support at 
[email protected].

TCP/IP troubleshooting
If you have problems establishing a network connection using TCP/IP, check the 
troubleshooting tips in this section and try the suggestions listed.
Displaying expanded Service Connection Progress messages
It’s helpful to identify at what point in the login procedure the connection fails. An 
easy way to do this is to display the expanded Service Connection Progress 
messages. These messages describe the current stage of the login procedure. Press 
Down on the navigator at any point during login to display these messages.
Viewing the Network Log
If viewing the expanded Service Connection Progress messages does not give you 
enough information to find out why you cannot connect to your ISP or dial-in 
server, take a look at the Network Log. The Network Log lists all of the 
communication that occurs between your modem and your dial-in server during 
the login procedure. The information in the Network Log can help your ISP or your 
system administrator pinpoint where the login procedure communication fails 
and why.
To view the Network Log:
1.From the Network Preferences screen, tap the Menu icon  . 
2.Select Options, and then select View Log.
3.Tap the up and down arrows of the scroll bar to see the entire Network Log.

Adding a DNS number
If your ISP or dial-in server requires a DNS number and you did not enter that 
information in the Network Preferences screen, it will appear that you successfully 
logged into your network. When you try to use an application or look up 
information, however, the connection fails. If this occurs, try adding a DNS IP 
address. Ask your ISP or your system administrator for the correct primary and 
secondary DNS IP address.
Phone Preferences
The Phone Preferences setting enables you to configure your handheld to exchange 
SMS messages and dial phone numbers when your handheld is connected to a 
GSM mobile phone (sold separately). To use this feature, you must first install the 
appropriate files for your carrier and phone. For more information, see Chapter 14.
To set Phone Preferences:
1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Phone.

■Encrypt records.

handheld. You can mask the password from accidental viewing. To quickly log in,
