Bonsai Outliner for Palm OS > Item Details > General Tab > Type

Each item in an outline is one of 3 types: simple, to do, and task.  The type assigned to an item when it is added to the outline is controlled by a preference.  The type can then be changed from the details view.

A Simple item can be changed to either a To Do or a Task by tapping (or right click) on the status icon and selecting the type from the pop up menu.  With the desktop application, right click on the completion status to display the item type menu.
