> When launching a program from an external storage card, please bear the following in mind:

> > YiShow Explorer can execute programs from both internal RAM and external storage. Since internal RAM is typically smaller, with most devices having only 8MB, putting programs in external storage can greatly reduce the space needed by them. Nonetheless, you can organize them by creating different directories by their type or attribute for easier usage. However, please keep the following in mind if you use this feature:
> > - For a program composed of only a single file, just execute it directly
> > - For a program composed of more than one file, you can execute it in two modes as:
> > 1. Copy all the associated files into internal RAM and then execute the program.
> > 2. Turn on the "All Install" mode in the Setup menu. You can also turn on the "All Delete" option too, so that when the program exits, all the files will be cleared from RAM by YiShow Explorer. Of course, any updated data be erased and thus you will lose those changes.
> > - For programs that support VFS, for example KDIC v1.30, you need to put the supporting files into a pre-defined directory before executing it. In this example, you need to put the dictionary into MSFILES.

> > [Note]Executing programs stored in MS need double RAM space. You are encouraged to keep at least 1MB free space for proper execution.

> > When using 256-color wallpaper, the image's color palette will be adjusted to match the PalmOS's 256-color palette. Thus the resulting image will contain some distortion if the two palettes do not match. If the image contains more colors, I suggest you use true color mode for better results.
