Chapter 5 Page 133 Example of web clipping This example takes you through the process of finding someone’s phone number and address using the Yahoo! ® People Search web clipping application. This web clipping application is preloaded on your handheld. To find a phone number and an address: 1. Raise the antenna. Raising the antenna automatically opens the Applications Launcher to the Palm.Net category. If you moved the Yahoo! People Search web clipping application, go to that category. 2. Tap the Yahoo! People Search icon. 3. Tap the First Name edit line and enter the first name of a person whose address and phone number you want to find. You can use Graffiti writing or the onscreen keyboard to enter data. 4. Enter the last name of the person and the city where the person lives. 5. Tap the State pick list and select the state where the person lives. Tip:Writing the first few letters of the state you want causes the list to scroll to the first entry that begins with those letters. For example, write “ca” to select and enter California. 6. (Optional) If you want to find the address of the person, tap the Show Addresses check box to select it. 7. Tap Search. Tap here to submit your query
Page 134 Web Clipping Applications and the iMessenger® Application Within seconds, your clipping appears. In this case, the web clipping application found two items that satisfy your query. How big was that clipping? After you receive a clipping, you can find out the size of the clipping. If you see two exclamation points (!!) in the title area, the clipping is larger than 1,000 bytes. To see the size of a clipping: 1. Tap the Menu icon . 2. Tap Options, and then tap Info. The Info dialog box shows how many bytes the clipping contains. Reviewing stored clippings: History list You can see a list of stored clippings in the History list and then select the one you want to review. You can see clippings that pertain only to the web clipping application that is open. When you open another web clipping application, the History list changes to display only clippings that you received in that web clipping application. Note:You do not incur a cost when you review clippings in the History list.
Chapter 5 Page 135 To review the History list: 1. Open the web clipping application that has clippings you want to review. 2. Tap the History pick list. 3. Select the clipping you want to review. Saving information from a web clipping application You can copy the text in a clipping or a page of a web clipping application and paste it into another application. For example, you can copy an address you receive as a clipping from Yahoo! People Search and paste the address into Address Book. To save the text of a clipping or page: 1. Make sure the clipping or page you want to copy is onscreen. You can use the Back arrow or the History list to display the clipping or page you want. 2. Tap the Menu icon . 3. Tap Edit, and then tap Copy Page. 4. Open one of the basic applications, such as Address Book or Memo Pad. 5. Create a new record. 6. Tap the Menu icon. 7. Tap Edit, and then tap Paste. Keep the following points in mind about the Copy Page command: nCopying always starts at the top of the current clipping or page, regardless of what is displayed onscreen. nThe Copy Page command copies only the first 4,000 bytes (4KB) of data. If the clipping or page you copy contains more than 4KB of History pick list
Page 136 Web Clipping Applications and the iMessenger® Application data, your handheld appends the word “truncated” to the end of the pasted text. nThe Copy Page command does not copy images or icons; table structures; or text formatting such as bold, italics, and so on. Sending e-mail from a page If a web clipping application or clipping gives you the opportunity to reply to an e-mail address, you can do so. To send e-mail from a page: 1. Tap the address displayed in the page. The iMessenger application opens. The To: field contains the address to reply to. 2. Enter the text of your message. 3.

Chapter 5 Page 137 Using the iMessenger application In addition to the Mail application and infrared (IR) beaming, which are explained in Chapter 6, your handheld offers you another way to stay in communication with others: wireless Internet messaging. By activating the Palm.Net wireless communication service, you acquire an address and mailbox on the Palm.Net network. You can then use the iMessenger application to send and receive short text messages. Whenever you’re within coverage of the network, you can use the iMessenger application to be in contact with anyone who has an Internet e-mail account. In the iMessenger application, you can do the following: nDownload messages waiting for you on the Palm.Net network. nRead, delete, reply to, and reroute incoming messages. nCreate outgoing messages and drafts of messages. nSend messages to any Internet e-mail address directly from your handheld. The iMessenger application differs from the Mail application The iMessenger application is completely independent of the Mail application. You use them differently, and they do not interact in any way. You do not have to choose between Mail and the iMessenger application, however. You can use both. One convenient similarity between the iMessenger application and Mail is this: skills you learn in one application you can easily transfer to the tasks you do in the other. For example, writing text, looking up addresses, viewing header information, saving drafts, and purging deleted items are all done the same way in both applications.

Page 138 Web Clipping Applications and the iMessenger® Application Mail depends on your computer You use Mail to manage the e-mail that you receive in your desktop computer’s E-Mail application. When you create e-mail items in Mail, you cannot send them out directly from your handheld; rather, you must first synchronize your handheld with your computer. At that time, e-mail items you created in Mail are transferred to your desktop E-Mail application and sent out through that application. Mail does not use the transmitter or the Palm.Net wireless communication service. See Chapter 6 for complete information about Mail. The iMessenger application is independent of your computer The iMessenger application is a wireless feature. By taking advantage of the wireless capability of your handheld, the iMessenger application enables you to send and receive messages even though you may be miles away from any desktop computer. You work only with your handheld to create, send, receive, and otherwise manage messages. Synchronizing with your computer does not transfer iMessenger messages to your desktop E-Mail application. Opening the iMessenger application 1. Raise the antenna, located on the right side of your handheld. Raising the antenna automatically opens the Applications Launcher to the Palm.Net category. When the transmitter suc- cessfully connects to the network, your handheld beeps. 2. Tap the iMessenger icon . Tip:You can set your handheld to open the iMessenger application directly whenever you raise the antenna. See “Buttons preferences” in Chapter 8 for details. 90°135° To ensure the best reception: If you are holding the handheld in your hand, raise the antenna to its position at 135 °, located at the second click you feel as you raise the antenna. If the handheld is on a flat surface, raise the antenna to its position at 90 °.
Chapter 5 Page 139 Checking for and viewing messages The iMessenger list screen of the Inbox lists your downloaded messages, who sent them, and optionally, the date they were received. (See “Date column” later in this chapter.) nUnread messages have a dash ( — ) next to them. nMessages you’ve already read have a check mark ( 4 ) next to them. nMessages you create have a diamond (u ) next to them. You can tap these symbols to open a menu of commands that you can use in the current context. To check for new messages: nTap Check & Send. Tapping Check & Send accomplishes two actions: nDownloads messages that are waiting for you on the network nSends out messages that are in the iMessenger Outbox A Transaction Progress message box appears onscreen and tracks the progress of the transaction. The iMessenger application downloads no more than ten messages at a time to your handheld. The Transaction Progress message box notifies you if more messages are waiting for you on the network. 4/6 = Four unread messages out of a total of six
