changes to the external file when you perform a HotSync operation. With file link, you can import data
stored in any of the following file formats:
• Comma delimited (.csv).
• Tab delimited (.tsv).
• Memo pad archive (.mpa).
• Address book archive (.aba).
• Text (.txt).
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop online help.
