***  1. NEW IN THIS RELEASE ***

This release incorporates much of the feedback we received from
our early customers.  We have done our very best to make Actioneer 
as useful and usable as possible based on this feedback.  In this 
release you'll find:

A.  Ability to remove date and time keywords from your action note.  
    This allows you to type a keyword like "tomorrow" or "5:30pm" 
    in your action note, but when it is saved to the Date Book, the 
    word "tomorrow" or "5:30pm" is removed or "stripped" from the 
    actual text.

    To use this new feature, select Preferences from the Options
    menu, and check the option "Strip Date/Time Keywords."

B.  Keywords are now backed up when you HotSync.

C.  The Keywords dialogs now have scroll bars for easy viewing.

D.  New ultra short date keywords have been added ("su", "mo", "tu",
    "th", "fr", "sa").  Since the ultra short keyword for Wednesday 
    would be "we" (which is a pronoun), we have elected not to parse 
    it.  Use "wed" as short date keyword for Wednesday. 

E.  Pressing the Memo Pad application button twice opens the Memo 
    Pad application.

    encounter problems running these hacks from within Actioneer.  
    We recommend that you turn off these hacks while using 
    Actioneer.

    If you do experience any display or conflict issues, please 
    send an e-mail to us directly at palmfeedback@actioneer.com 
    to report it (see Section 1 of this document).

    Compatibility with TRG SPII ROM has not been tested at this 
    time.

***  5.  IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING ***

A.  You must have at least 120K of memory available on your 
    PalmPilot in order to run Actioneer for the Palm OS. The 
    Actioneer.prc file comprises 93K, and you will need a minimum 
    of 27K of avaliable memory for all Actioneer features to 
    function. 

B.  The keyword format has changed from 1.x to 2.0.1.  After 
    installing Actioneer for Palm OS 2.0.1, your keyword format 
    will be updated.  If you reinstall the 1.1.0 version, you will 
    need to reenter all of your keywords."


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

***  6.   TIPS ON USAGE  ***

A.  The Actioneer for Palm OS Quick Start Guide and User's Guide 
    are presented in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.  To view the files
    properly, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader loaded onto your 
    system. To obtain a free copy Adobe Acrobat, go to the Adobe 
    web site at www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html.

    To view PDF documents more easily within Acrobat, set the 
    magnification in Acrobat to 150 percent.

B.  Users have sometimes encountered a fatal error when attempting 
    to use the Address Book lookup feature from within Actioneer in 
    conjuction with the Palm Find feature. This is a known issue in 
    the Palm OS 2.x, that has since been corrected in Palm 3.x OS.  
    If you are using a Palm with 2.0.5 OS, and you perform a "Find" 
    while in the "Lookup" mode, your Palm could run low on 
    available memory and crash. 

    For Palm 2.x users, since this appears to be related to how much 
    memory is used on the system, one workaround is to free up some 
    of your system resources on your Palm.  Another workaround is to 
    avoid using the Palm Find feature at the same time that you are 
    using the Palm Lookup feature.

****  7.   KNOWN ISSUES: Parsing & Keywords  ****

A.  If you attempt to run Actioneer for Palm OS on a PalmPilot that 
    has less than 27K of memory left, you may experience a freeze on
    your PalmPilot (as there will be no room for a keyword list to be 
    loaded).  You will need to reset your PalmPilot and free up more 
    memory before using Actioneer.
