Steps
- Copy NOTEPAD.EXM to A:\SOFT. It is a System Manager application: register it in App Manager with F2 (Add), giving the full path (for example A:\SOFT\NOTEPAD.EXM).
- The 200LX takes 8 EXM applications at most. Check with F8 (List) in App Manager: an asterisk in the Status column means the quota is full and you will need MoreEXM.

The author's instructions
Installation instructions are in notepad.txt. Important note: The password system has been changed again, because of a bug that would cause a file to be correctly decoded even if the wrong password was supplied. Please use version 1.8 to decrypt any files you might have encrypted with it, and encrypt again with version 1.9. Also of interest: Many people have asked me whether Notepad works on a desktop PC. If you have the Communications package from HP, you can install notepad.exm and run it under APP95. To do this, add the following line to the file APNAMEUS.LST: NOTEPAD.EXM,5F00,Notepad This will let you run Notepad by typing CTRL-F2.

Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
