4Tap the arrow V next to End and select one of the following
commands. If the command requires additional information,
a field appears to the right of it for you to enter the
information.
• Wait For: Tells your CLIE handheld to wait for specific characters from
the TCP/IP server before executing the next command.
• Wait For Prompt: Detects a challenge-response prompt coming from
the server and then displays the dynamically generated challenge
value. You then enter the challenge value into your token card, which
in turn generates a response value for you to enter on your CLIE
handheld. This command takes two arguments, separated by a vertical
bar (|) on the input line.
• Send: Transmits specific characters to the TCP/IP server to which you
are connecting.
• Send CR: Transmits a carriage return or LF character to the TCP/IP
server to which you are connecting.
• Send User ID: Transmits the User ID information entered in the User ID
field of the Network Preferences screen.
• Send Password: Transmits the password entered in the Password field
of the Network Preferences screen. If you did not enter a password, this
command prompts you to enter one. The Password command is
usually followed by a Send CR command.
• Delay: Tells your CLIE handheld to wait a specific number of seconds
before executing the next command in the login script.
• Get IP: Reads an IP address and uses it as the IP address for your CLIE
handheld. This command is used with SLIP connections.
• Prompt: Opens a dialog box and prompts you to enter text of some
kind (for example, a password or a security code).
• End: Identifies the last line in the log in script.
5Repeat step 4 until the log in script is complete.
6Tap OK.
7Tap OK.

Non-ASCII Characters for Log in Scripts
The following information enables you to create custom log in scripts that
require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who
understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log in
script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you
send ^char, and the ASCII value of char is between @ and _, then the
character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31.
For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return.
If char is a value between a and z, then the character sequence is translated
to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the
character sequence is not subject to any special processing. For example, the
string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.
Carriage return and line feed
You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the
login script, when entered in the following format.
•  : Sends or receives a carriage return
•  : Sends or receives a line feed
For example, the string “waitfor Joe” waits to receive Joe followed
by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before
executing the next command in the script.
Literal characters
The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as
a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily
associated with that character.
Examples:
• \^ : Includes a caret as part of the string
• \< : Includes a < as part of the string
• \\ : Includes a backslash as part of the string

Backing up data of your Sony CLIE Handheld
You can save a backup copy of your CLIE handheld with either of the
following two methods:
• Backing up data using a HotSync
® operation
• Backing up data using “Memory Stick
®” media
Backing up data in your computer using a HotSync operation
By default, you can backup the following data in your computer using a
HotSync operation:
• Memo Pad data files
• Address Book data files
• To Do List data files
• Date Book data files
• Expense data files
• Preferences data files
• Applications files that have been installed using a HotSync operation
• User information files when you perform a HotSync operation
During the next HotSync operation, the backup data is compared with the
data in your computer, and the newer one becomes effective.
If you perform a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIE
handheld are erased and reset to the initial status. If you save a backup of
your CLIE handheld data, you can restore any data previously synchronized
with your computer during the next HotSync operation.
Notes
• Some applications are not designed to be backed up. Therefore, you may not be able
to restore some applications and data. We recommend you to re-install the
application again.
• If you change settings in the Change HotSync Action dialog box, you may not be
able to save a backup. You cannot back up or restore data for the application if you
select another option than “Synchronize the files.”  For details, see “Customizing
HotSync application settings (Conduit)” on page 120.

							199Chapter6Additional information
Using data of another Sony CLIE Handheld
Continued on next page
If you already own a Sony CLIE Handheld, you can use data of your old
CLIE handheld with your new CLIE handheld. You can transfer data from
your old CLIE handheld to your new CLIE handheld with either of the
following methods:
•Using Palm™ Desktop for CLIE to copy data: You can transfer data of
the Palm OS basic applications easily.
•Using “Memory Stick
®” media to copy data: You can transfer all the
necessary data and settings information more securely than using the
Palm Desktop for CLIE software.
Note on add-on applications that you have installed
Install add-on applications using the same procedures as the previous CLIE handheld.
Some third-party applications may operate only on your old CLIE handheld.
Using the Palm Desktop for CLIE software to transfer data
For the Palm OS® basic applications data such as Address Book, Memo Pad,
To Do List, Date Book, you can use the Palm Desktop for CLIE software to
transfer data from your old CLIE handheld to your new CLIE handheld by
exporting and importing data.
Before you start, perform a HotSync
® operation to the Palm Desktop for
CLIE software using your new CLIE handheld with a different user name
from that you have used with the old CLIE handheld.
1Start the Palm Desktop for CLIE software.
2Click the user name of your previous CLIE handheld from the
User name list in the upper right of the screen.
3Click the icon of the application whose data you want to copy
in the left panel of the screen.
4Click Export from the File menu.
5Enter the file names and click Export.
The data of your old CLIE handheld is exported. Change the destination
folder if necessary. 
						

							200Chapter6Additional information
6Repeat steps 3 through 5 to export data of other
applications.
7Click the user name of your new CLIE handheld from the User
name list in the upper right of the screen.
If you have never performed a HotSync operation with your new CLIE
handheld, select Users from the Tools menu. Click New in the Users
screen and enter a new user name. Then select that new user name.
8Click Import from the File menu.
9Select the files you have exported in steps 3 through 6 and
then click Open.
10Place your new CLIE handheld on the cradle and perform a
HotSync operation.
The data exported from your old CLIE handheld is copied onto your new
CLIE handheld.
Notes on a HotSync operation
• Do not attempt to transfer data from your old CLIE handheld to your new CLIE
handheld by performing HotSync operations with the identical user name. Doing so
may cause trouble.
• When you perform a HotSync operation with your new CLIE handheld and the
New User dialog box is displayed, enter a different user name from that of your old
CLIE handheld. If you enter the identical user name, the Palm Desktop for CLIE
software may not be able to recognize the difference between your CLIE handhelds
and the data of both handhelds may be mixed up or deleted.
• If you copy UnsavedPreference, the user name is also copied. This prevents you
from managing the two CLIE handhelds with different user names.
