Pasting an appointment to a different time

What if your Palmtop beeps at 11 am with an alarm box reminding you to "Pay the water bill," but you're too busy to attend to the bill immediately? You'll probably want to reschedule the appointment for sometime later in the day.

One way to reschedule would be by changing the appointment time, but this isn't the quickest way, since to alter the time you'd have to open the appointment record by pressing (ENTER), (TAB) down to the Start Time field, type in a new time (say, 4 p), and finally press (F-10) (Done).

Here's a quicker and easier way. Just cut the appointment and paste it to 4 pm. (Press (Fn)-(CUT), use the (DownArrow) key to move to 4 pm, then press (Fn)-(PASTE).)

What if you want to paste the appointment or event to 4:30, but the timeline is set to 60-minute intervals (i.e., there are 4 pm and 5 pm appointment slots displayed, but not one for 4:30)? Press (Fn)-(Spacebar) to toggle to a 15-minute or 30-minute timeline, and you can now paste the appointment to 4:30.
