Your Palm handheld is a great device for jotting down information as you think of it. You've probably got lists of CDs you want to buy, directions to your sweetie's parents' house and the plumber's phone number, plus a thousand other things. But if you need to call the doctor and the information is categorized under the date of the appointment, how do you find the phone number quickly?

Instructions
