management tools that help to keep you on time all the time. In addition to
Schedule, Reminder, and To Do tools, you can select from among a variety of
different screens to view your appointments on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis.
You can even set alarms to help make sure you never miss an important
appointment or event.
Entering the Scheduler Mode

starts and ends on the same day) or a “multiple-date” item (an appointment that
spans more than one day). You can input a new multiple-date item with the New
button or with the calendar screen.
