Communicating with Others

nweb can be used to communicate with others in several ways:

Sending E-mail

Mailing A URL

Beaming A URL

Sending E-mail
Some Web pages contain mailto links. You can use these links to send e-mails if your Palm OS device has VersaMail or other similar e-mail application that supports this functionality.

  1. Tap a mailto link on a Web page. The e-mail application opens and creates a new e-mail. The message is already addressed to the mailto address and the subject line may also be filled in.

  2. Write your e-mail message.


  3. If your handheld device does not have an e-mail application, or the application does not support this function, you will get an error message.

Mailing A URL
While browsing on your device, you come across a page that you want to view later on your desktop browser or send to someone else. Instead of trying to remember the Web address (URL) or writing it down, nweb can send the URL through your device's e-mail application.

  1. Open the Web address (URL) you want to e-mail to another device.

  2. Tap the nweb logo and select Mail URL from the Page menu.


  3. Select the page you want to view and tap the Open button. The saved page is now displayed.


  4. If you have the appropriate e-mail application, a confirmation dialog box appears. Tap Yes. The URL for the page that was open is placed in the body of a draft e-mail.

Beaming A URL
Did you know that some Palm OS devices have the ability to beam (send) information between two handheld devices equipped with the appropriate infrared hardware? nweb takes advantage of this feature.

While browsing on your device, you come across a page that you want to share with a colleague. Instead of telling him or her the Web address (URL), writing it down, or handing over your device, nweb can beam it to the other device.

NOTE: Both devices must contain the appropriate infrared hardware for the Beam URL function to work. Refer to your administrator, carrier or device’s User Manual to see if your device has this capability.
  1. Open the Web address (URL) you want to beam to another device.

  2. Tap the nweb logo and select Beam URL from the Page menu.


  3. If your handheld device does not have the infrared hardware for beaming, you will get an error message.

  4. If you have the appropriate hardware, nweb prepares the Web page for beaming and then searches for the receiving device.

  5. If another handheld device with infrared capabilities is not detected, you will get and error message.

  6. If another handheld device is detected, but the device is busy, you will get an error message.


  7. If another device is detected and is not busy, nweb sends the URL information to the other device.

  8. After URL information is sent to the other device, nweb disconnects from that device and returns to the beamed page.

  9. A confirmation dialog box appears on the receiving device. When Yes is tapped, the Web address loads on the receiving device.
