So, what is BackPak?



BackPak is a simple application launching utiltiy.  The idea is to make BackPak the "Backdrop" application and use it, not the Extras drawer, to open applications.  You can even customize which application are available in BackPak, and there's a clock too!



Why Use it?



BackPak use much less memory than the Extras drawer (or the NotePad) when used as the Backdrop application.



How to use it:



Install it.

-Open the Extras drawer and hold the pen down on top of BackPak until it is hilited.

-Open the action button (the one inthe lower right) and select Make Backdrop.

-BackPak will be made your Backdrop appliaction.  When you close all other applications, -BackPak will be there, not the Notes application (the Notepad).



BackPak's Features:



Once you open BackPak, you will notice a all your installed (unfrozen) applications and books.  All you have to do is "Hide" the applications you don't want to see.  Simply tap the Show button and add applications to the BackPak list.  Frozen applications and auto parts wil not be available; you must unfreeze them in the extra's drawer first.  Once added to BackPak's list, simply tap the application's name to open it.



To hide an application (remove it from BackPak's list), use the Hide button.



To open the Clock application, tap the date in the upper left corner of BackPak.  You can set the current time from the Clock application.



To update the Heap size (heap is memory available for applications), tap the Heap area in the upper right corner.
