INSTALLATION TO A SECURE DIGITAL EXPANSION CARD:

The Medical Letter Handheld Edition offers LIMITED support for expansion cards.
Typically, one places an application on the expansion card to conserve main 
memory. The tradeoff in doing so is that the handheld has to move data from the 
expansion card to main memory for the application to run. This results in a slow 
launch. It also requires a sufficient amount of main memory to import necessary 
data from the card. A general rule of thumb is that if there is not enough memory 
to install to main memory, then running off the expansion card will NOT work. TML 
Handheld Edition expansion card use is NOT compatible with the independent 
application "Launcher X" if you are running Palm OS 5. There may be 
incompatibilities with other independent applications. For more details, see the
Users Guide.
