Clipper v1.3

____________________________________________________

copyright 1994 Ben Gottlieb and Stand Alone Software



Clipper will place a floating button on your newton screen with a small

scissors icon in it. This button may be dragged anywhere on the screen, or even

partly offscreen. You can select text and drag it onto the button. After

letting go you will hear a small click or a small squeal, letting you know that

the text has been clipped. To access clippings, simple tap on the button, and a

popup list will appear. Selecting an item from the list will paste it after the

current insertion point. There are several other choices available from the

menu:



"Paste One Time"	When this option is checked, all clippings will only be

pasted once, and then removed from the list. A clipping will be marked as Paste

Once if this option is checked when the clipping is made. It's setting when the

clipping is pasted is irrelevant. All clippings marked as Paste Once will have

a small infinity symbol next to them in the menu.



"Remove An Item"	Tapping this will pop up a second menu. Choosing an item

from this list will remove it from the list. This can be undone using the Undo

button.



"Remove All Items"	Selecting this option will clear the entire list. This can

also be undone using the Undo button.



"Name an Item"		This will bring up a window with three parts: a menu to

select the current clipping, a text line to write in a new name for it, and a

button to let you view the entire clip. This is useful for large chunks of text

in which the first line (the one that will appear in the menu) is not

particularly helpful in identifying the clipping. The new name will appear in

the menu, but will not be pasted.



"Move to Status Bar"	Selecting this will move the button to the status bar

of the notepad, and will make it non-floating (so that it will not obscure

applications.) This is not available if the button is already on the status

bar.



"Float Button" 		Selecting this will make the button float above all other

applications, and will restore it to it's previous location. This is only

available when the button is on the status bar.



"About Clipper"		This will bring up a small window telling you the current

version number and how to contact me.

One last thing: 

	Some of you may have noticed that several of my applications have gone up

	in price. There are many reasons for this, but one of the major ones is

	that some people feel that it isn't worth it to send in a $5 registration

	fee. In the interests of fairness, all current users will still receive

	free upgrades. In addition, if you register $50 worth of software, the

	registration fee will be only $40. (This does not include the special offer

	of half off Scroll Menus with any other registration.)



_________________

Other Stuff by me:



User Picker: Allows you to store multiple configurations (handwriting

	recognition, name, address, etc.,) in the same newton, and switch between 

	them. (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: $15)



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. (shareware: $15)



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: $10)

	

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: $10)



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. (freeware)

	

In Box Expander: Allows mail and beamed items to be received on the card or

	internal store. Also makes in and out boxes, connection, and card slips

	draggable. (freeware)



Librarian: Saves your place in books and bookmarks you make through hard

	restarts. Also allows you to use the power switch as a 'next page' button

	(on the MP100 only :-(  shareware: $10)



NameSelector: Pops up a window in which a single character can be entered.

	After writing that letter, it opens the name file and moves to the name which

	starts with the letter written. (shareware, $10)



Wake Up Week: Puts a window up at wakeup time and shows you your coming week of

	the calendar (shareware, $15)



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.

	(shareware: $10)



Capitalizor: Allows you to change the case of an entire note to all upper or

	lower case, or capitalize all words in a note. (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.)

	(freeware)



Hourly Chime: Allows you to make the newton chime periodically, on the hour or

	at some other interval. (freeware)
