DumbKbd - The Newton has a "smart" keyboard - if it doesn't recognize a word you tap out with it, it asks if you want to add the word to the dictionary. Sometimes this is great. Sometimes it's a pain. DumbKbd opens the normal Newton alphanumeric keyboard with a temporary lobatomy to prevent it asking about each unrecognized word. Closing the keyboard restores it to normal. Dumbkbd will work from the extras drawer but a more direct access method makes it more useful.  Roll Your Own II, a freeware application by the same author, is one way to create a status bar button or a part of a preprinted button to run DumbKbd. I personally use RYO to attach DumbKbd to the word "Undo", which seems to make sense to me somehow. Dumbkbd is freeware, copyright S. Milllman 1994 (StephenM35@aol.com).
