Within a week of purchasing your Palm handheld, you were using it to schedule appointments, track your expenses, keep track of birthdays, and remind yourself to buy dog shampoo on the way home. (We know you also play Frogger on the thing, but your secret is safe with us.) You became a Palm whiz in no time. Not surprising: Palms make staying productive and organized simple.

But you can never be too productive or too organized. To that end, we've dug deep into the nooks and crannies of the Palm OS and unearthed a treasure chest of shortcuts and tips. We'll show you how to enter data faster on your Palm, tweak the system settings so you can navigate faster, and boost your handheld's font sizes so you don't go blind checking your Address Book.

Also on the docket: Date Book tips, a handy pointer for the lucky folks who connect to e-mail with their handheld, and a method for clearing garbage out of your Palm to free up precious memory. And before you leave us, be sure to check out FileWorld's recent list of Top Ten Downloadable Palm Utilities.
