entry, or groups of entries, which will free up memory

Using categories
A category is a name that you assign to an entry so it can
be grouped with other entries for subsequent selective
access. You can use categories to organize your
information, for example, to group tasks by project,
personnel, or other criteria that you may find useful. Up to
32 different categories can be used in the To Do
application, and up to five categories can be assigned to
each entry. Once a word is entered within an entry as a
category, that word is automatically stored and sorted
alphabetically in the category list, from which you can
select a category to assign to an entry. You can also
manually add a word directly to the category list, as well as
editing and deleting words in the list.
☞
Be careful when manually adding categories because
the Organizer distinguishes between upper- and
lower-case letters for category names. For example,
“For John” and “for john” are treated as different
categories.
