Tips & Tricks

1.	Portfolio in the train. More fun than a walkman! Watch out you don't
	forget to step out Portfolio in de trein. Don't forget to step out
	at your destination. It is possible to set an ALARM for that.
	The regular traveller can make a DIARY for every destination.
	With the possibility of dayly and weekly repeat it is even possible
	to make a difference for workdays, the weekend and holidays.
	Every time when starting DIARY, the next train shows on screen.
2.	The better computershops have cables for every conceivable connection.
	For DFL 15,- I got a plug with the opposite sex as a standard 
	printercable. Now I can do a FILE-TRANSFER without having to take
	the thick and heavy printer cable everywhere I go.
	(only 2 wires of this cable are used).
	Also, disconnecting the printer is usually easier than disconnecting
	the computer.
3.	A list of often used ASCII numbers can be glued under the
	Portfolio-speaker e.g.:
		  = 159
4.	'Alien' address files are easily converted to the Portfolio ADRESSBOOK 
	by using a word processor and a spreadsheet.
	I'm using Wordperfect en Planperfect. Planperfect allows to include
	'alien' databases. The program understands DBASE,LOTUS and all kinds
	of text files and converts them to rows and columns of a spreadsheet.
	That comes in handy if the sequence of name-address-place-phone
	must be changed to name-phone-address-place, as required in ADRESSBOOK.
	The wordprocessor can be used, using search&replace, to add braces to
	all city dialcodes, and to add comments between square brackets,
	e.g. [home] [work] etc.
	After a little study into the MACRO possibilities of WordPerfect, it is
	possible to do all processing withing WordPerfect.
	Macro's also allow to convert dates from the CALENDAR program (from
	the WP library) to DIARY format.
	Processing a long list of addresses will only take minutes this way;
	at least, much less than entering the whole list by hand.
	An 'average' address is 80 characters, which means that an
	'empty' Portfolio with 32 kB ramdisk has storage for 400 addresses.
