Note: Only applications which consist of a single .prc file can be installed in this way. Applications which
include an additional file such as a .pdb file, must be installed using Palm Desktop or Quick Install.
Software applications are normally installed in the main memory of the handheld. Some applications can
be run directly from the memory card, but others have to be installed in the main memory by copying
them from the card.
Having downloaded (or otherwise copied) a software application to a PC, use the card reader to copy the
program file (which will have the extension .prc) to the card. The file must be copied to the directory
\Palm\Launcher.
When the card is inserted back into the Palm T|X, the Applications screen is automatically switched to
show the applications which are on the card. (To return to the normal Applications screen, select the
drop down menu at the top right and select "All" in place of "Card").
To copy a program from the card to the main memory, select Menu Options by pressing the time display
at the top LH side of the Application screen, then select Copy. Change the "Copy from" drop down from
Device to Card, then select the required program from the list and press Copy.
