The built-in tasks that the Assistant can complete include calling, faxing, finding,
mailing, printing, remembering (adding To Do items), scheduling (adding
meetings), getting time information from the built-in Time Zones application and
displaying online help. Note that the top portion of this menu displays only one
word for each action the Assistant can perform. For example, the word
"call"
appears here but the synonyms "ring" and "phone" do not. Recently used
synonyms may appear in the bottom half of the slip, however.
