1. Launch the PalmPilot or Palm Desktop Install Tool by tapping Start | Programs | PalmPilot Desktop 2.0 (Palm Desktop) | PalmPilot Install Tool (Palm Install Tool).

The Install Tool will queue the application for installation to your PalmPilot (Palm III, Palm IIIx, etc.) on the next synchronization. If you are not sure of your Palm device User name, tap the HotSyncŪ icon on your Palm device. A screen will appear which says, "Welcome, . name. ". This is the name which must appear in the User Name field on the Install Tool. If the correct name is not one of the choices on the drop down list, then you will need to first synchronize the PalmPilot (Palm III, etc.) to establish the name on the User Name list.

3. Locate the Action Names application called ActNames.prc by tapping the Browse button (Add...on the newer Palm IIIs, etc.). Once you locate it, double click it to select it. This will prepare the application to be installed on the PalmPilot (Palm III, etc.) with the next synchronization.

   - If you have a black and white device: please locate the following application called ANIcons-B&W.prc and install using the above instructions.
4. Dock your PalmPilot (Palm III, Palm IIIx, etc.) in the cradle and press the HotSync button.

5. After synchronization, tap on the Application Picker. The Application Picker is the silk screened button containing a house icon to the immediate left of the graffiti writing area.
