• On a Palm OS 5 device, McPhling can be activated tapping the McPhling icon in the command bar. The command bar can be made visible on most Palm OS devices by performing a swipe from the bottom left of the "abc" portion of the graffiti area to the upper right of the "abc" portion of the graffiti area. This swipe looks like a slash, "/". If your Palm OS device has a keyboard there may be a key to bring up the command bar. Be sure to consult the documentation for your Palm OS device.
• You can choose which applications will be ignored by McPhling from the preferences screen in HackMaster (or whatever Palm OS system extension manager you use).
• You can choose "favorite" apps which will always be shown in the applications list.

• A second swipe from the "Menu" button to the "Apps" button will remove the applications list if it is already up.
