26.8.6. Menu Options
Each application has a set of drop-down menus that can be accessed from the Menu key on the Task
Bar (see above) or by pressing the identifier tab at the top left hand side of the application screen.
The menu options vary depending upon the applications - example drop down menus for the Media
application are shown below.
26.8.7. Categories
Most Palm applications include a drop-down menu at the top right of screen which is known as
Categories. Initially this will be set to "All", but individual categories can be selected from the drop-down.
Each application (including the application called Applications) defines its own category list. Each
category can be regarded as a sub-folder of the application. New categories can be created (and
existing ones renamed or deleted) by selecting the Edit Categories function from the drop-down. One
category which is always present and can not be deleted is Unfiled, this can be regarded as the root
folder. Selecting "All" from the drop-down gives access to the contents of all of the categories including
Unfiled.
NOTE The category list for the Media application is called Albums rather than Categories.
For basic applications, a document or file can be moved from one category to another by opening it in
the application, changing the category setting, and then closing. More complex applications incorporate
their own individual methods for moving data between categories.
26.8.8. Files and Folders on the Memory Card
Some applications, such as Media, Documents and pTunes, can operate with data that is stored both
within the internal memory and on a memory card. Unlike the internal memory, the memory card will
have a conventional folder structure and files can be directly copied to or from a PC.
Some applications define their own folder names for files on the card (DCIM in the case of Media,
Documents in the case of Documents). Data stored from the Palm T|X onto a card, or transferred onto
the card from a PC using Palm Desktop software will be automatically placed into the correct folder.
However, files copied directly to the card must be manually placed into the correct folder.
Some other applications, such as pTunes, have a built-in folder browser and can access relevant files
from anywhere on the card.

The concept of categories stems from the organisation of the Program
Memory area of the device, see section 26.8.1. Most native Palm
applications store both the program and the data for that application in
the program memory area. This memory area does not have folder-
based filing system. Categories can be regarded as Palm's folder
system for the program memory area.
