The author's instructions
Quick Start
You should find two sample "piles" of notes with this distribution;
tutorial.uno and sample.uno. A good way to introduce yourself to
Useful Notes is to try the tutorial. Simply type:
uno tutorial.uno
at the DOS prompt then follow the on screen instructions. You should
be able to work through the tutorial without having read the
documentation.
To explore some ideas about how Useful Notes might be used, type:
uno sample.uno
at the DOS prompt and again follow the on screen instructions.

Send to my palmtop
The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
