These are some hints which are easy to forget, yet can be extremely helpful:
If you receive a message telling you the application has run out of memory:
Change the memory allocation for AgendaMaker to a higher value. To do this, quit AgendaMaker, switch to the Finder, click once on your AgendaMaker application to select it, then choose Get Info from the File menu. Try adding 500K to the current value (1,500 becomes 2,000, etc.). 1,500k is usually enough for around 500 items.
To have AgendaMaker run automatically when the computer is turned on
Create an alias of your document file and put it (the alias) into the Startup Items folder.
Changing the project, priority, or status of all selected items
Select those items you wish to change, then choose the new tag (project, priority, or status) while holding down the OPTION key.
Deleting items (shortcut)
Select the items you wish to delete, then hit the DELETE key.
Moving a filter, project, priority, or status
While holding down the SHIFT and OPTION keys, select the item you want the current item to appear after.
Avoiding the warning dialog when deleting items
Hold down the OPTION key when deleting items.
To avoid switching views when choosing a Filter with a view specified
Hold down the OPTION key while choosing the new filter.
Copying attributes from one item to other items
Select the item you wish to copy, then choose Copy Attributes from the Items menu. Next, select the items you wish to change, then choose Paste Attributes from the items menu. This is useful when setting many items to the same date, type, etc., such as after importing items.
Pasting text from other programs (shortcut)
To paste text copied from another program such as America Online, simply bring AgendaMaker to the foreground and choose Paste from the Edit menu. A note item will be created containing the pasted text. This avoids actually opening a new item, pasting the text, then closing it. This is useful when copying mail from online services into AgendaMaker.
Copying text from AgendaMaker to other programs (shortcut)

This is useful when copying mail from AgendaMaker to online services.
