The procedures are identical as described on the Load & Save Configuration page, except:

• the internal file for the task database is tasks.spt, so replace config.scg with tasks.spt
• instead of tapping Configuration you need to tap the Tasks button on the Main Transfer screen.
• Replace Config Files(*.scg) with Tasks Files (*.spt) in SPTerm if you use Serial, IR or BT transfer.
• It is not recommended to use MEMO transfers if you have a large tasks database as it will create multiple MEMO files on your Palm.

The tasks database is transfered as a text file. Below a very simple sample file:
