If you want to use LaunchEmAppHack, Launch 'Em's system-wide recent apps list and
last app launching utility, you will also need to have HackMaster installed. HackMaster,
written by Edward Keyes, is the de facto standard manager for extending system-wide
PalmOS capabilities. You can get the latest version of HackMaster at
http://www.daggerware.com. HackMaster is shareware; please register your copy.
IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE:
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Launch 'Em or LaunchPad, it is
recommended that you delete the previous version before installing Launch 'Em 1.5. There
is no danger if you do not delete previous version; however, failure to do so may cause you
to have BOTH applications installed on your PalmOS organizer, meaning you will be
wasting 22k of precious RAM.
IMPORTANT UN-INSTALL NOTICE:
If you ever decide to delete Launch 'Em, you should uncheck 'Always use Launch 'Em' in
the Launch 'Em preferences so that the built-in applications launcher is used after Launch
'Em is deleted. If needed, you can re-install Launch 'Em, uncheck the preference, and then
delete Launch 'Em again.
2.1. Launch 'Em
The first thing you should do is run Launch 'Em. To do this, tap on the application
button (silk-screened arrow) and tap Launch 'Em's icon. The second thing you should do,
as Eric Kenslow (the author of Launch 'Em) so nicely prompts you to, is read the Launch
'Em help page on the PalmOS organizer. It contains, more concisely, everything I will tell
you about here. For the sake of completeness, here are the tips you will find on your
PalmOS organizer:
* To launch an application, simply tap the application's icon.
* To move an application to another tab, drag the application's icon and drop it on the
desired tab.
* To view a different tab, tap the desired tab. You can also use the 'space' and 'backspace'
Graffiti® strokes to switch to the next and previous tabs, respectively.
* Use the 'Tab' menu to create, set properties (name and security), and delete tabs.
* Use the 'Options' menu to set your preferences, gadgets, and to access other Launch 'Em
features.
* Use the 'Palm' menu to launch commonly used built-in PalmOS organizer applications.
* Use the 'Help' menu at any time to view these tips.
* To switch between viewing the current date, time, and day of week, tap on the time
display in the lower right-hand corner.
* To switch between showing battery power as a bar and voltage, tap on the voltage display
in the lower center.
Allow me to expound on these tips later. After you have viewed these tips, Launch
'Em ask if you would like to use Launch 'Em as your default application launcher.
Choosing 'Yes' will set up your PalmOS device so that each time you tap the
'Applications' button, Launch 'Em will appear.
After you tap Done you see the Launch 'Em screen. Along the top are three tabs
labeled "Apps", "Utils", and "Games." All of the applications on your PalmOS organizer
