VIEWING AND ADDING APPOINTMENTS ON THE HP PALMTOPS 95LX 100LX

Both HP Palmtops give you flexibility in the way you view and add your appointments. However, the newer 100LX comes with more options.

HP 100LX APPOINTMENT BOOK

The HP 100LX gives you three different ways to view or add appointments.

DAILY VIEW -- from APPT press (F9) to display the Daily view of your appointments.

WEEKLY VIEW -- press (F8) and the week you are in is displayed (Sunday to Saturday).

MONTHLY VIEW -- press (F7) and the current month is displayed.

You can access your ToDo list from any of these views by pressing (F10). To add an appointment from any of these three views, highlight the desired time and press (ENTER), or press (F2) (Add), or just start typing. You can press (F10) from any of the views to add to your ToDo list for that day. You can also press (F6) to access a six- month calendar, but appointments are not visible and you cannot add appointments or ToDo's without returning to another view.

HP 95LX APPOINTMENT BOOK

The 95LX displays a Daily view and Monthly calendar. Press (APPT) and your Appointment Book opens in the Daily view. Highlight the desired time and press (F8) to insert an appointment (or simply highlight the time and type in the appointment). Press (F10) from the Daily View to access your ToDo list.

Press (ESC) from the Daily view to access the Calendar view. This view displays the current month. The current day is bracketed by greater than and less than signs (e.g. >15< ). Any date with appointments will be underlined in this view (e.g. 15 ). You cannot enter appointments or to-dos from the Calendar view. Highlight the desired day and press (ENTER) or (F10) to go to the Daily view of that day. Then enter your appointment or ToDo.

A number of third party products have been developed to enhance the HP 95LX's Appointment Book and give it many of the 100LX's APPT display features. These product include ABKTool (ON DISK), Multiday (ON DISK), WEEKABK (ON DISK), and zAPP (ON DISK). These products are fully described in an article beginning on page 25 of the May/June 1993 issue.
