Assigning Applications to Buttons
Buttons Preferences allows you to assign different applications to the buttons on the front of the handheld and to the HotSync

To Do List button to start the Memo Pad application.
You can also change whether the full-screen pen stroke activates the Graffiti
®
2 Help application or another handheld command

application using the Applications Launcher. Changes made in the Buttons
Preferences screen or HotSync Buttons dialog box take effect immediately.

corner. Then tap the
Prefs icon .
2. In the pick list in the upper right corner, tap Buttons.
3. In the Buttons Preferences screen, tap the pick list next to the button you
want to re-assign.

TIP: To restore all of the buttons to their factory settings, tap Default.
