Applications and the Keeper application

Note: Everything you put on your pad is saved automatically, so there is no
Save button. When you no longer want to keep something on your pad, you
simply delete it.

The software on your Pepper pad is contained in a number of individual
applications, such as the Web browser application, the Mail application, and
the Video Library application. The Keeper is the application in which you keep
track of all of the other applications and the cross-application settings. When your
pad is turned on, the Keeper icon is displayed on the bottom left of the screen.

Global toolbar

The global toolbar is always displayed at the top of the screen. The buttons in this
toolbar provide a consistent way to perform actions that are common to Pepper
applications. For example, use the Back button to display the previous page in an
application and the IM button to open the instant messaging window.

Below the buttons in the global toolbar, there is a place to enter a Web address
and a place to initiate a search.

Page toolbar

The page toolbar changes depending on the application and what part of the
application is being displayed. For example, there is a Get Mail button in the
page toolbar on the Messages tab page in the Mail application but not in the
page toolbar on the Drafts tab page.

Application pages and tabs

Each application in the Pepper software is comprised of a set of pages or digital
media organized into tabs. An application is something like a loose-leaf binder
with tabs and pages within the tabs. The tabs in a Pepper application are
displayed across the top of the application area below the global toolbar.

Most tabs display a list of the contents in the tab. For example, the Applications
tab in the Keeper displays the icons for the other applications on your pad, and
the Search Site tab in the Web browser application displays a list of familiar Web
sites. To see the contents of a tab, tap the tab.

Tabs are one of the most powerful features of the Pepper software. For more
information about tabs, see Help in the Keeper.
