Pointers on using Sd Cards

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Hi guys,

I bought a new Sc card for my Treo 650 yesterday and as I have never used
one before, I am a little unsure of how to use it.

I have formatted the card using the builtin format utility and loaded Filez.
I see that a DCIM and a PALM folder has been created on it. I assume the
PALM folder is to store all the palm apps? I also note that it contains two
subfolders Launcher and Prograns. When should I use these and what for?

What is the DCIM folder for?


Can anyone guide me on the procedure for transferring MP3 files to the card
and play them from there?

Thanks for any help.
