USING FILE LINK
The File Link feature lets you import Address Book and Memo Pad information into your handheld from a separate external file
such as a company phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate category on your Palm

Desktop software and your

With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following file formats:
• Comma delimited (.csv).
• Tab delimited (.tsv).
• Memo Pad archive (.mpa).
• Address Book archive (.aba).
• Text (.txt).
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop online Help.
