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

A.  You will need to have 16MB of RAM installed and 8MB of disk space
    available to install Actioneer for Palm Desktop.

B.  If you choose to install Actioneer for the Palm Computing Platform,
    you must have at least 100K of memory available on your PalmPilot.

C.  If you install Actioneer for Palm Desktop immediately after
    installing the Palm Desktop application, you will need to use
    Palm Desktop at least once in order for Actioneer to recognize
    your Palm Desktop data.


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

***  6.   INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION NOTES  ***

A.  The Actioneer for Palm Desktop uninstaller will leave behind 
    the customized keywords.kna file under each Palm Desktop user
    directory. 

B.  We highly recommend that you do not change your Palm Desktop's 
    Data directory from its default, as any 3rd party conduits you 
    install may not work.

C.  If you change your date and time settings from the Control Panel's
    Regional Settings dialog, you must close Actioneer and restart it
    before your new date/time settings are properly parsed.

D.  Although the documentation describes a conduit which syncs your
    To Do and Memo Pad custom keywords between Actioneer for Palm 
    Desktop and our handheld software, Actioneer for the Palm
    Computing Platform, this conduit is not available in this release.
    You will need to manually enter any keywords directly in Actioneer
    for Palm Desktop.

    We intend to provide this conduit as soon as possible.  Please 
    refer to our web site for availability information.


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

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

A.  The ability to create Actioneer messages with recurring dates will
    be provided in a future release.

B.  Keywords for new categories may not be available until you 
    a) select Refresh from the Actioneer or action note menus; or 
    b) you close and reopen Actioneer for the Palm Desktop.


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

****  8.   KNOWN ISSUES: Actioneer UI  ****

A.  If both a To Do category and a Memo Pad category share the same
    name, Actioneer for Palm Desktop will display the category name
    with the word "ToDo" or "Memo" added to its end.  Whether the 
    To Do category name or the Memo category name is displayed 
    differently is dependent on which had been added first.

    For example, for the default Palm categories of Business and 
    Personal, Actioneer will display the To Do categories as 
    "Business" and "Personal" and the Memo categories as "Business 
    Memo" and "Personal Memo".  You will not see any changes if you go
    directly to the To Do or Memo Pad page; this is only in Actioneer 
    itself.  It is used to generate unique keywords for the individual
    categories.

    However, this behavior will not occur if you rename an existing To
    Do or Memo Pad category that has items associated with it to a 
    name that's the same as another To Do or Memo Pad category.

B.  Categories and contacts created or modified in Palm Desktop will
    not appear in Actioneer for Palm Desktop until you a) click the 
    Palm Desktop's Save button; or b) select Refresh from the Actioneer
    or action note menus.

C.  If you modify a category on your PalmPilot and synch the edit
    to your Palm Desktop while Actioneer for Palm Desktop is running,
    you may need to select Refresh from the Actioneer or action note
    menus after your HotSync.
