Starting HP Desk 

HP Desk consists of twelve numbered areas.  These areas are named after
equivalent areas of your own office desk.  For example, in HP Desk there
is an In Tray, an Out Tray and a Filing Cabinet.  These areas have
related numbers.  The area name or number can be used as a command when
you are working in HP Desk.
