****************** Mail Edit 1.1 Read Me (shareware $5) ********************* Mail Edit offers a new way to read and reply to email on the Newton. It allows you to read messages in a variety of fonts and sizes, and allows easy access to the keyboard and, if it's installed, Graffiti* (<-- a trademark of Palm Computing, used without permission.) It also makes use of more of the screen, allowing you to edit more of a message at once. To access the address information on outgoing mail, click on the "Address" button. To load a package attached to a mail message (the package name will be right below the message text) click on the action slip and then select "Load Attachment". The "A" button lets you change the default font for viewing, and the "G" button will bring up Graffiti*, if installed. (Graffiti is a trademark of Palm Computing, and is used without permission.) The keyboard button will, predictably, bring up the keyboard (and will cycle through all available keyboards, just like the notepad keyboard button.) If you want a 'signature' on your messages (a small bit of text, usually your name, a reply address, and maybe a quote) click on the "Address" button and enter some text into the Signature field. Before closing the window, check the "Use Signature" box at the bottom of the screen for all messages to have your signature appended to them. To reply to a message, delete a message, or put away the attachment of a message, click on the action button (the envelope) and select the appropriate item. A final option in the action menu is "Copy to Notes", which lets you copy the current message to the note pad. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DATA WHILE USING THIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE!

(shareware: $15) Clipper: Clipper places a button in the status bar of the notepad, or a floating, draggable button anywhere on the newton screen. You can select text and drag it onto the button to 'clip' it. Tapping on the button will bring up a list of all such clippings. Selecting one will paste it after the current insertion point. (shareware: $10) Constants: Places a new entry in your formulas app that allows access to a variety of physical constants. (freeware, for now) Periodic Table: Adds a new entry to the formulas app with a periodic table. Clicking on an element brings up the data (such as atomic weight and volume) of it. Also, molecular weights of compounds can be found. (shareware, $10) NotePopper: places a button in your statusBar that will pop up a list of notes to which selected text can be appended. (shareware: $5) Score Pad: lets you keep score in two player games. (freeware) Icon Editor: A (very) simple icon editor for the Newton (look for an improved version, coming soon to an archive near you! currently freeware) What Error: Gives more information when an error message pops up. (shareware: $5) Names To All Overview: Sets the name file to open to all names in the overview mode at startup, so that names app opens faster.

After writing that letter, it opens the name file and moves to the name which starts with the letter written. (shareware, $5) Wake Up Week: Puts a window up at wakeup time and shows you your coming week of the calendar (shareware, $10) Store Keeper: Changes the default store whenever you're in Names or Dates so that information entered there always ends up on the internal store.

(freeware) Graph Paper: Places a button in the notepad that will make the notepad look like a sheet of graphpaper (note: does *not* show up on printing or faxing.)
