Common Tasks
In addition to the wireless communication applications, your Treo™ 180 communicator also
includes a full suite of personal information manager (PIM) applications: Date Book Plus, the
Contacts view in PhoneBook, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense. This chapter provides
instructions on how to do tasks that are common to several applications. It’s easy to transfer what
you learn in one application to the other applications because the structure and behavior of all
these applications are quite similar.
Throughout this chapter, the term “record” is used to refer to an individual item in any of the PIM
applications: a single Date Book Plus event, Contacts entry in PhoneBook, To Do List item, Memo
Pad memo, or Expense item.

communicator automatically capitalizes the first letter of each field (except numeric
and e-mail fields).
