Once you install ThoughtManager, tap on the ThoughtManager icon. Do not tap on the old ThoughtMill icon. Once ThoughtManager starts, it will automatically import your outlines into ThoughtManager and delete the old ThoughtMill from your Palm device.
If you do not see the ThoughtManager icon, and you are using a 3rd party launch program, temporarily turn off your 3rd party launcher and go tap on your Palm Applications icon to see the ThoughtManager icon. After you start ThoughtManager once, you can turn your 3rd party launcher back on.

Included is a User Manual in Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 format, suitable for printing or online viewing. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free program available on the Internet. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 installed, you can download it at:

If you are viewing the manual, you may want to do the following to help you navigate and view the files easier. Choose Preferences->General from the File menu and make sure that the checkbox titled "Smooth Text and Monochrome Bitmaps" is NOT checked. This will make the text more readable on the screen.
If you open the manual with an older version of Acrobat Reader, you will get an error message.
If you ever want to let someone try your software, you can beam it to another Palm device, if both have infrared capability. You will be beaming the trial version of the software. Tap the Applications button and choose Beam from the menu.
