Program installation

Press the Series 3 System button. Release as much RAM as possible by shutting down all tasks with bold names on the screen which you do not need to be active.

• The Order program comprises a single file named EOE.APP. This file must be accessible to the operating software of your Series 3; this is achieved by placing it on the Internal Disk in directory \APP. Copy it there from a SSD (Solid State Disk) using the Copy file tool under the File menu, or (through the 3-Link accessory) from a Personal Computer running MCLINK using the Remote link tool under the Special menu (see Psion's 3-Link manual; please remember to turn the Remote link tool OFF afterwards).
• If you have kept template order files (i.e. empty orders with pre-set Access and Format data) on the SSD or Personal Computer, copy these to the Internal Disk directory \EOE.
• If you have a SSD that will always be fitted on this Series 3 you can release nearly 20K bytes of RAM by moving EOE.APP into directory \APP on that SSD, then delete EOE.APP from the Internal Disk.
• Pick the Install application tool under the Apps menu:

When the file EOE.APP is on a SSD you will need to change the Disk field. The Order program icon should appear at the chosen position when you close the dialog box by pressing Enter (you may prefer to change the Position field to First or Last).

• Keeping the highlight under the Order icon, pick the Assign button tool under the Apps menu and adjust the dialog box fields until they look like this:

Then press Enter to assign the Program button to the Order program. Of course you may specify another button if you prefer, or repeat the assignment for other buttons.

• If you wish, you can use the Remove application tool under the Apps menu to bar selected built-in applications. This might help to avoid RAM being unwittingly consumed by idle button-pressing.
• If you did not install template orders, start the Order program either by pressing Enter with the highlight on the word Order or by picking the New file tool under the File menu. The latter method lets you create an order file with a name other than Order. Then pick the Access tool under the Edit menu and complete both dialog boxes.
