happens. If you install it on a pre-Newton 2.0 device it will probably

display an error. You can install this on a card without getting the

Remount message when you eject but be aware that the extension uses more

Drawer) that makes using HnewTML 1.00 easier and more efficient. HTMLbtn

installs two new buttons on your Notepad's status bar. One button labelled

H will launch HnewTML from your Extras drawer and pop open the HTML

picker. The second button will launch HnewTML and automatically send the

active note to NewtsCape for imaging. What does this mean? You can more

efficiently use the real-estate of your Notepad for creating HTML code, as

well as reducing the number of keystrokes you need to use HnewTML and

NewtsCape.

 Description:

 KeyMan 1.1 - KeyMan is an enhancement to the built in keyboards. It

modifies the standard keyboard, the numeric keyboard, the phone keyboard,

and the dates keyboard. Because of the way it's written, it must be kept

in internal memory, because if it's on a card, you'll get the dreaded

'grip-o-death' syndrome (if you only use one card, like me, than it

doesn't matter, but for those of you who use multiple cards, and you know

who you are, you'd better stick to internal.). The normal, QWERTY-style

keyboard gets a row of keys added to the top. There's cut, copy and paste,

paste name, date, time... and lots more!!

created by some other app such as Roll Your Own (now RYO III, freeware) or

ScrollEx or Shortcuts. The current upload comes with a package named

QuickiesOnAssist which causes Quickies to run when word assist under the

Assist button is tapped. To eliminate this behavior, remove the package.

Helps you control - sleep, restart, sleep after, free heap, new note,

select all, delete all, delete selection, bullet, cut, copy, paste, and

font! Version 0.66 fixes a bug that affected lists displaying long

 NameSlalom 1.1 - NameSlalom is a shareware utility program designed to

augment the built-in Newton Cardfile. The idea behind it is to make the

entries any your Cardfile no more than a few taps away. It uses the

Cardfile's index as a means to give you rapid access any card. The index

for a card is usually the last name, but it can be company too. You set it

with the List By diamond menu in the All Info screen for a card. As you

tap in the first few letters of the index it zooms in on the entry you're

looking for. From there you'll either be able to read the number you want

right from the scrolling list, or tap it to go to that entry in the

Cardfile. You'll find NameSlalom handy in the car, or in those...

 Don't Ask 1.0 - Don't Ask (Don't Tell) is a simple, tiny app (autopart)

that adds a button (at lower left) in the standard keyboard so that you

can turn off/on the Do you want to add... prompt, which you may find

annoying or sometimes desirable... When dot is hollow (default), words

pass through to the dictionary prompt. When dot is solid, the dictionary

prompt does not appear (it's blocked/overridden). This Newt source file

(dontask.nwt) and the associated Newt-generated package (DontAsk.pkg) are

 Description:

 NumberKeys - NumberKeys is an alternative to the numeric keyboard. When you

open it, a menu pops up. Selecting an item types it and opens the menu

again. Tapping anywhere else closes it. I wrote Numberkeys because I love

Grafitti but I hate using it to enter numbers. I needed a quick and

convenient way to enter numbers correctly. Several of the menu entries

need explanation. The blank at the top of the menu is really the delete

key. The second is the space key. The blank which is the penultimate entry

is the right arrow key. The square at the bottom is the left arrow.

Numberkeys needs a direct access method to be useful.

Newton. You write in the center box a single character at a time using

normal letters styles. As the letter is recognized it is inserted as text

into the view with the flashing insertion caret. You can choose an

alternate letter from the list of characters to the right of the inking

box. When you tap an alternate character the previously inserted character

is deleted and the new one replaces it. Any empty box can be used to type

a space. The del key can be used to delete characters and the arrow keys

are used to move around the line. There's also a carriage return button,

caps lock button, number and punctuation button.

 Shortcuts 1.01 - Shortcuts is a shareware utility that lets you add buttons

 to the status bar of the Notepad that act as shortcuts to the built-in as

well as other applications. Shortcuts is a little on the large size

(roughly 60K after installation) and therefore can be loaded into either

internal memory or onto a storage card. If at all possible try to load it

into the internal memory. Start Shortcuts by opening it in the Extras

Drawer. Then all you need to do is tap and drag buttons to the status bar.

 No More Keys 1.1 - No More Keys is an application which replaces the QWERTY

 keyboard with Graffiti. This package will not appear in the extras drawer,

and makes an effort to be as invisible as possible. To use this package,

simply load it after Graffiti has already been loaded. If all of your

packages are being kept on the same store, that will do it. On the other

hand, if you are dividing all of your packages between internal and a

your Newton. It does not create any soups. You can put it on your card,

eject and reinsert it into a friend's Newton and PickExtras will work! It

sizes? Want to write in size 72? Ever need to draw a line more than 4

pixels wide (try 8)? Want to change something to all upper case, lower

case, capitalize, or capitalize words? Then nStyle is for you! This app

you don't have a memory card for your Newton, DON'T install this app. This

app closes the Backup Slip when a card is inserted. The backup slip is

that dialog that appears when you insert a card. I never really want to

 Description:

 NewPage 2.5 - My Newton was beginning to frustrate me in that handwriting

recognition is far too slow to keep up with conversation. Ok, so I

switched to digital ink. Problem there was that once your digital ink note

gets to about 2 or 3 screen sizes, it takes a long time for the Newton to

accept it so that you can scroll down to the next empty screen. Finally,

the the gesture for creating a new page is often mis-interpreted as a

word, causing even longer delays!!! newPage installs a button onto the

Notes app's status bar which quickly creates a new page and scrolls you

down one screen so that you're ready! Now it's an auto-install, uses

default store, and uses correct height.

Tapping the word Names under the Names button opens or closes Graffiti.

Sets the default position for Graffiti to the bottom left of the screen;

Shrinks the Graffiti view itself a bit; Sets the default position for the

 Description:

 GrafMod - GrafMod is an application for replacing the built-in alpha

keyboard with Graffiti. Double-tapping in the notepad or a text field will

bring up Graffiti. GrafMod also sends the floating Graffiti button off the

screen so it doesn't obscure other objects (it doesn't matter where I put

the button it is always in the way). GrafMod has no options, it prevents

access to the normal alpha keyboard, and you can't access Graffiti when

you double-tap in a date, time, number or phone field (the floating button

is gone). I like it this way so this is how it works. If you like it this

way too then I think you'll find it useful.

which is attached to the bottom of the NotePad next to the keyboard icon

etc. Tapping this button will present you with a pop-up menu containing a

user definable list of apps installed on the Newton. Tapping an app name

will open that app! The second part of PopExtras is the utility that is

used to select which apps will be displayed in the popup button. This

utility consists of a scrolling list which contains the apps installed on

squeal, letting you know that the text has been clipped. To access

clippings, simple tap on the button, and a popup list will appear.

 Capitalization Punishment 1.2 - CapitalizationPunishment is a handy utility

that adds functionality to the Newton's built-in keyboard. When prompted to

add a word, you will now have options to add the word as is, as all lower

case, with an initial cap, or all uppercase. This can be handy if you, like

me, tend to capitalize words in lists that you don't want added to the

dictionary as a capitalized word. This is important because when a word is

added as capitalized, any time the recognizer chooses that word, it will

recognize it as capitalized even if you didn't intend on doing so. Version

 Find Recent 1.0 - With FindRecent installed the last ten terms one was

searching for are listed in the pop-up menu of the Find slip. This is

useful for example if you just looked up the phone number of someone and

as you try to call him or her the line is busy. Then you look for another

number other whatsoever. After a few minutes you want to give the call

another try, but you still can't remember the phone number. Now you just

pick up the name from the list instead of rewriting it. It just takes

about 4K of the precious Newton memory and it doesn't even show up in the

came across a post by a user who wanted to be able to split his Dates

ease of programming, I changed the idea a bit. The new method of operation

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

 Size: 54K         Date:11/07/94        

 Description:

 RYO III - Roll Your Own lets you create buttons that open an item in the

Extras Drawer. You can also attach an invisible button to the bottom part

of the button of one of the printed buttons (Names, Dates...). In

addition, Roll Your Own II will optionally increase the tap area for the

down arrow. The buttons you create can be permanent or temporary. Make

either a Floating (small floating window with even smaller button) or

Button (Notepad button). To remove buttons, simply tap remove floating or

remove button. Roll Your Own should coexist nicely with other floating

window packages (such as Scrappy) and with other buttonbar makers, like

Buttons. However, a Roll Your Own floating window placed over...



 Name  =  XMASTER2

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:XMASTER2

 Size: 17K         Date:10/26/94        

 Description:

 X-Master 2.0 - X-Master is a Newton utility which allows you to quickly and

 easily launch applets, books, and built-in functions without ever opening

the Extras drawer. It is unobtrusive and simple to use. X-Master's basic

design is similar to launching utilities such as Now Utilities NowMenus

for the Macintosh which provides a popdown list of applications and

documents to open. X-Master is relatively small (roughly 14K after

installation) and therefore can be loaded into either internal memory or

onto a storage card. After installation, you will see a small dot in the

upper right (or left) hand corner of your screen. Tap it for a list of

user installed apps, then tap again to launch an app.



 Name  =  QUICKPRE

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:QUICKPRE

 Size: 21K         Date:10/23/94        

 Description:

 QuickPrefs 1.0 - QuickPrefs is an application that allows users take a

snap-shot of the currently active preferences in the Newton. Then, by

selecting the archive's name the user can switch all the preferences at

once. In order to create a new preference archive the user must use the

preference application built in the Newton. Set all the preferences you

may want captured. Then launch QuickPrefs and tap on the button Capture. A

dialog prompting for the name of the archive will appear. Enter a

descriptive name, then you are ready to recall it at a later time. There

are also Set and Remove buttons that appear as soon as you have selected

an archive.



 Name  =  QUICKCAL

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:QUICKCAL

 Size: 12K         Date:10/08/94        

 Description:

 QuickCall 2.1 - QuickCall is a small package that installs a small button

on the status bar of your note pad. This button contains a graphic that

looks like a tiny telephone. When this button is clicked, it opens a

pop-up menu of the people that you have entered into your call list.

Presumably, these are the people that you want to call the most, although

they may not be. Tapping on someone's name brings up a call slip with the

person's phone number. This is exactly what you would get if you wrote

call (so-and-so), highlighted it, and tapped assist. The QuickCall pop-up

menu also contains an option to edit the list of people, and to bring up a

blank call slip for someone not on the list. Still no card removal -...



 Name  =  ACCESSOR

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:ACCESSOR

 Size: 15K         Date: 9/12/94        

 Description:

 Accessor 1.0 - There are a lot of utilities for getting around the

inadequacies of the Extras Drawer. Accessor is my contribution. Accessor

provides access to the builtin applications (Calculator, Inbox, Time

Zones, etc), installed applications (the windows scrolls so memory is now

your only limit), and books. Accessor also provides a quick and easy way

to toggle between the card and internal store. Lastly, against Apple's

directives, Accessor provides a quick and easy way to toggle between user

hand writing recognition settings and guest hand writing recognition

settings.



 Name  =  NOTEPOPP

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:NOTEPOPP

 Size:  7K         Date: 8/16/94        

 Description:

 NotePopper 1.01 - NotePopper places a button in your status bar (compatible

with other similar programs like StatusBar Buttons.) If you've just written

a bunch of stuff on a note and decide to move it to another note, it's

usually a pain to drag it to the side, find the other note, paste it in,

and then return to your original note. Enter NotePopper. After initially

selecting your text hit the NotePopper button and a list of all notes in

your current folder will pop up. Selecting one of those will copy the

selected text to the end of that note. At the top of the list are two

other choices - New Note and New Dated Note. Shareware.



 Name  =  STYLESME

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:STYLESME

 Size:  5K         Date: 8/04/94        

 Description:

 Styles Menu - Styles Menu is a floating button that pops up a menu

containing the text items from the Styles palette (plus a few other

items). Selecting an item opens the Styles palette, selects the

appropriate button and closes the Styles palette. (Note - to use Select

All select text or tap in some text.) By S. Millman, StephenM35@aol.com.



 Name  =  OPEN

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:OPEN

 Size:  9K         Date: 7/24/94        

 Description:

 Open - Open is a combination of an application launcher for user-selected

applications and a means of accessing all applications when your extras

drawer has too many items to be displayed. (Its an update, in effect, of

three programs - Ope+, Ope+Prefs, and AllExtras.). You can also pick apps

to exclude from your pop down list. Open is a floating box, which can be

moved around.



 Name  =  UPPERBUT

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:UPPERBUT

 Size: 15K         Date: 7/20/94        

 Description:

 UpperButtons 1.0 - This is an app similar in concept to Jesse Devine's

StatusBar Buttons (a must have in itself) with a few twists added. First

off, due to the fact the status bar is getting pretty crowded, there's not

a whole lot of room for new buttons, so I placed them in the folder bar at

the top of the note pad. This also means they're smaller, and more can be

placed up there (subject to the constraints of the current folder label.).

The other major difference is that the buttons are configurable, using the

separate app UBConfig. You can add or remove buttons, and change the

content and icons of those you've created.



 Name  =  GUESTER1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:GUESTER1

 Size:  9K         Date: 7/06/94        

 Description:

 Guester 1.3 - Tired of wading through menus to put your Newton in guest

mode every time someone else wants to try it? Bored with the double-tap on

the A, scroll down, and click? Wondering which mode you left your Newton

in the last time someone played with it? Then Guester may be for you.

Guester is a small application for your Newton to give you an

easy-to-get-at way to flip your Newton in and out of Guest mode. Inspired

after an evening of explaining my Newton to my parents, it's a little

floating button you can drag down next to the recognizer buttons in the

notepad, and use or look at it when you need to. Provides an icon which

shows you at a glance whether or not you're in guest mode.



 Name  =  ALLEX

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:ALLEX

 Size:  5K         Date: 7/01/94        

 Description:

 AllEx - Creates a new button on the notepad statusbar which produces a

scrolling list of all items in the Extras drawer (whether or not visible).

Selecting one opens it. Do not use to open Card. Install only in internal

memory.



 Name  =  OPE2

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:OPE2

 Size: 10K         Date: 6/10/94        

 Description:

 Ope 2 - Ope creates a floating button which pops up a list of the

application packages. Selecting one opens it. This is generally much

faster than the Extras drawer. Ope creates its list when opened. If you

add or remove an application, Ope will not know. You have to close Ope and

reopen it to have it notice the change. Version 2 adds the ability to

specify built-ins to be included in the popup menu and to specify

applications to be excluded.



 Name  =  NEWBULLE

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:NEWBULLE

 Size:  5K         Date: 4/25/94        

 Description:

 NewBullet - This is a my rewrite of an old (wow, 5 months) program called

Bullet. This version should work on all Newtons, and should be compatible

with other programs that put buttons on the status bar (like NotePak).

Basically, the program puts a button on the Notes status bar. This button,

when pressed, inserts a return and a bullet into the text. Make sure you

have an insertion point! Just tap on the screen where you want the bullet,

then press the button. Nice for making lists in the Note pad.



 Name  =  ENDBACK1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:ENDBACK1

 Size:  5K         Date: 4/04/94        

 Description:

 EndBack 1.0 - End n' Back is a small Newton utility that installs itself in

the NotePad application. Its purpose is provide a fast way to go to the

last note in the Notepad's paper roll. It also provides a way to go back

to the note you were at prior to going to the end. After installing the

app, Two new buttons will appear in the button bar of the Notepad

application. Pressing the End button (down arrow) positions you at the end

of the paper roll. Pressing the Back button (curving up arrow) positions

you at the note you were at prior to pressing the End button. That's it.



 Name  =  TAPSTYLE

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:TAPSTYLE

 Size:  4K         Date: 2/08/94        

 Description:

 TapStyles 1.0 - TapStyles is a simple little applet that, when activated,

places a small dot in the upper right area of the Newton screen that

allows quick access to the styles palette. I wrote it primarily for my own

use as I found all other similar type applets not quite right for my own

needs. It is small, unobtrusive, and, as far as I can tell, bug free. Once

installed, tap on the little fountain pen nib icon and it will place a

small dot in the upper right area of the Newton screen. When you tap on

this dot, which is always available from any app, it instantly brings up

the styles palette. Tapping on it again puts the styles palette away.



 Name  =  THEFIGGL

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:THEFIGGL

 Keyboard PRO - Define your own keyboards and macros, Paste notes from your

folders into any application, Call any Applet from your Extras Drawer at

Newt field from any computer with a serial port. KeyQUICK gives you

instant access to Keyboard Pro from any application. KeyMAKER lets you

build custom Macros for Keyboard Pro, install prebuilt keyboards and

remove unwanted ones. Monitor lets you keep track of time, temperature,

memory usage and battery levels. And theres TikTok and 24. GREAT...



 Name  =  STATUSBA

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:STATUSBA

 Size: 14K         Date: 1/27/94        

 Description:

 StatusBar Buttons 2.0 - StatusBar Buttons is a single Newton applet which

places (up to) seven buttons in the status bar at the bottom of the

Newton's note pad application. Each of these buttons serve a distinct and

useful function, and generally make the Newton a better place to live. You

may select which buttons to display as appropriate for your unique needs.

StatusBar Buttons is a persistent applet. When installed, the buttons

appear immediately. When the Newton is reset, the buttons reinstall

themselves. They're always there, ready to serve. Buttons installed -

Bullet, quickstyle, exclaim! (punctuation), keys, ink sizer, words/letters

and prefs shortcut. Read the docs to find out more.



 Name  =  STORK1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:STORK1

 Size:  5K         Date: 1/23/94        

 Description:

 StorK 1.1 - StorK is a useful Newton application if you own a RAM card. It

adds a button to the status bar of Newton to let you quickly toggle between

saving new things to the Newton (internal memory) or the Card. Saves you

the hassle of manually choosing where to store new things. StorK was

rewritten to conform to a newly emerging standard for adding buttons to

the status bar of the Notepad application. StorK will now happily co-exist

with other Notepad add-ins (or ons?), such as Jesse Devine's utilities.



 Name  =  INKER1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:INKER1

 Size:  7K         Date:11/16/93        

 Description:

 Inker 1.1 - Inker is a Newton App which lets you change the size of the

drawing ink quickly. When Inker is running, a small floating window pops

up and you can position it anywhere you like it. To change the ink size

just click on size button and select 1-4. 1 is the smallest size and 4 the

largest. It is very useful when drawing. Inker 1.1 differs from 0.9b in

that the floating palette is smaller and more graphical. The main goal is

to take up as little user space as possible.



 Name  =  FLASHSTY

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:SHORTCUT:1:FLASHSTY

 Size:  5K         Date:11/15/93        

 Description:

 Flashs Typer 1.0 - A tiny keyboard for the Newton which can type the date,

a tab, a carriage return, or the delete key. Unlike the large built-in

keyboard, you can leave this one open all the time, since it doesnt

disable double-tapping on a word to display the Newtons other guesses for

that word. Pressing the ? key gives a little bit of help, pressing the

xkey closes the keyboard.
