Ok, thanks for the explanation. I thought it would be refreshing the appointments - for example an appointment that has elapsed (selecting 1 hour timeout) then it would disappear from the Today screen after 1 hour. I tried all sort of different times - boy was I off track!

So the way it works if I understand you correctly is that if you select 1 hour timeout:

1) If not powered-off, the screen you are on will stay on top for as long as the Axim is on regardless of the time-out setting.
2) If powered-off, the clock begins to tick from that moment and after 1 hour, if still off, when you turn the Axim back on, it will revert/refresh to the Today Screen.
3) If powered-off for 30 minutes and then back on, the last screen you were on will appear and the timeout resets back to 1 hour again waiting for the next time you turn if off.

Am I correct?

Also is there any additional documentation online/book that covers details as such. The Help in the Axim X51v discusses the Today screen, but it doesn't explain what that option does or is for. I also looked on the MS site and although they do cover many topics, some of which are a repeat of what's in Help, I didn't see anything there. The Dell instruction book didn't cover that either. I usually try to find answers.
