Getting Started
You cannot hurt the P-21 with any combination of keystrokes! Do not be afraid to experiment. Try different menu choices to see what happens

The P-21 screen
P-21 uses a touch sensitive screen. A plastic pencil or stylus “draws” on the screen. You select icons by tapping them. You pick from menus by tapping on the menu selection (or arrow, for more selections). You enter numbers by calling up the numeric keyboard. Consult the Palm Pilot 3-COM instructions manual for general operation.
Tap on the screen gently. All it takes is a slight tap. If the P21 does not seem to be responding, your may need to realign the digitizer. This is done by selecting the Preferences icon, then the General option, then the digitizer option, then following the directions. See the Palm Pilot manual.
