What do the "Home", "Back"
& "Index" buttons do?
"Home": Brings you to the Database Home Page, where you can
choose a Database and a subject within that Database.
"Back": Appears on the "Details" page. This brings you back to
the "Listings" page so you can select additional listings to view.
"Index": Brings you to an alphabetical index of every SubCategory
available in the Database. Our patented (Patent Pending and Patent 6,757,673)
Fingerpoint® methodology cross-references from the index back to the
Subject-Category-SubCategory hierarchy so other similar SubCategories can be
accessed that may be grouped hierarchically, but not alphabetically.

I can't read the text on
the Details Pages; how can I make the font larger/easier to read?
Go to the Database Home Page and tap on your handheld's "Menu" icon. Select
"Viewer Options." A pop-up window will appear; check the desired boxes to
change the font to the Palm OS® system default font and/or make the font size
larger. Note that some special characters aren't supported by the
Palm OS® system default font, and therefore may be displayed incorrectly.
See the Font
Setting Options page.

I'm using a Sony Clié™
device with Palm OS® 4.x, and the text on the Details Pages is too large and
getting cut off at the bottom; what's wrong?
Go into the "Preferences" options from your Sony Clié's™ home screen, select
"HiRes" in the upper-right dropdown menu, then check the "Enable High
Resolution Assist" box, and finally check the DataViewer box in the "(Except
for these selected applications below)" window. If that doesn't work, try
unchecking the DataViewer box but leave the "Enable High Resolution Assist" box
checked.

Database record information into my Palm OS® Address Book, Calendar, or Memo
