cgf You cannot enter tinted appointments that span more than one day. If you want an
entry to go across midnight, enter it as more than one entry, or as a repeating entry
(described later).
You can also type day entries into the Week, Year and List views. Enter the 'Day entry
details' in the dialog as you would in the Day view.
The Agenda as a "plain paper" Agenda
If you intend to use your Agenda as a "plain paper" agenda, you should first change the
'Day entry preferences' so that day entries arc untimed by default:
1. Select the 'Set preferences' option on the 'Special' menu. A new submenu is shown.
2. Select the "Day entry defaults' suboption on the 'Entry preferences' menu. Then
change the 'Day entries timed by default' line to 'No', and press Enter.
You are now ready to enter notes and appointments:
1. Position the cursor to an appropriate place on the screen. (You can put it in the
corresponding "time slot", if you like, or you can choose to ignore time slots
altogether.) Type the text (and the time, if it is an appointment) For example, you
might type 2.30 Dentist.

2. Press Enter, then Enter again to remove the 'Day entry details' dialog from the screen.
To change the position of an untimed entry, press Delete to delete it, then move to the
desired position and use the 'Insert entry' option on the 'Edit' menu.
As an alternative to pressing Enter twice, you can press Psion-Enter. No 'Day entry
details' dialog will be shown. If you wish, you can even set the Enter key to do this,
instead of Psion-Enter:
1. Select the 'Set preferences' option on the 'Special' menu, and in the submenu it
displays, select 'General preferences'.
2. Change the first line, 'Prompt for entry details on", to 'Psion-Enter'. Press Enter to
complete the dialog.
Now you can type entries and just press Enter once to enter them. If you do want to
enter 'Day entry details' on occasion, use Psion-Enter (or, having entered the entry,
select the
'Change entry details' option on the 'Edit' menu.)
Finally, you may even wish to remove the guide times shown at the start of the slots. To
do this:
1. Select the 'Set preferences' option on the 'Special' menu, and in the menu it displays,
select 'Day view'.
2. Move to the 'Slot definitions' line, and press Tab. A 'Slot definitions' dialog is
displayed.
3. Set both of the 'Show' lines to 'Only slot line' (or, to remove the grey slot lines as
well, to 'Neither slot time nor line'). Press Enter to complete the dialogs.
