User
Modes
There are two user modes supported by QuickPAD Pro: single-user mode and multi-user
mode. If multiple individuals are using the QuickPAD, the most effective choice will
typically be to use the QuickPAD in multi-user mode. In this mode, each user can have
his/her own login name, passwords and file folder. This can be beneficial not only for
protective purposes, but also as an aid in keeping one user’s files separate from another’s.
There are circumstances in which multi-user mode could be beneficial for an individual
user; however, more often than not, an individual user will want to use single-user mode.
For information on changing the user mode, see section 2.2.1(“Change User Mode”).
When you switch into multi-user mode, the SELECT QUICKPAD USER window will
pop up. Initially, all users will be available. Select the desired user folder by entering the
F
# key corresponding to the open slot. For instance, to select user
F
2, press the
F
2 key. At
the prompt, type in a user name and press
ENTER
. If you wish to have a password for this
user, press
Y
and enter a password at the prompt. Re-enter the password to complete the
new user process.

MAIL OPERATION
The internal modem and email software is capable of connecting via dialup ISP services
to any standard POP3 mail server. Certain types of ISP providers however require
proprietary software (such as AOL, JUNO and NETZERO) and it is not currently
possible to connect to these services.
The first step to use your Pro for email services is the configuration setup. You may use
the PRO with email in single user mode, or in multi-user mode. In multi-user mode you
may have completely different email configurations (different ISPs, user names,
passwords, etc) for each user. In any case, the setup for either method is exactly the
same.
To begin, select EMAIL from the main menu and press ENTER. You will see the
INBOX screen, with a list of functions listed at the bottom. If you have used email
programs previously you will recognize most or all of the functions.
Email function summary:
[ C ] Configure email. This is where you enter information about your ISP, user name
etc. This must be completed before you can send and receive email. This is described in
detail below.
[ N ] New message: Press N to create a new outgoing message. A blinking cursor will
appear on the “TO:” line. You may manually type in an email address, or if you have
entered email addresses in the Personal Organizer, you may press F10 to show a list of
addresses you can choose from. Multiple addresses must be separated by a comma. You
may proceed to the “CC:” line by pressing ENTER, or TAB. You may go back by
pressing SHIFT-TAB. When you reach the attachment line, and if you have text files in
your editor folder you may add one or more text files as attachments by pressing the F10
key. The F10 key will not be available if there is no text files available. The ability to
send and receive other types of files may be added in the future. Once you reach the
body of the text simply type your message. When complete press ESC and answer Y
(yes) to add this to the output que (Unsent folder). Answering N (no) will delete any
message you have started. When you have completed all emails you wish to send simply
press T to connect and send.
[ T ]
Press T to send / receive email. Email in the QuickPAD is prepared while offline.
When you press T, the QuickPAD will then connect, then send any emails that are in the
“Unsent” folder followed by retreiving emails that may be on your POP server. The
QuickPAD must have been configured [ C ] prior to sending and receiving email.
[ D ] Delete email: The inbox (as well as the Unsent / Sent screen) will show a list of
emails. These may be deleted by selecting (highlighting) with the up and down arrow
keys, then pressing D. You may also press the “Delete File” key if you wish.
[ SU ] You may switch to the Sent or Unsent folder by pressing S or U. When in either
the Sent or Unsent folder you may press I to get back to the inbox folder.
