About Newton Register
Newton Register lets you pay for a shareware program with a credit card via electronic mail. Your payment will be sent to the Kagi Shareware clearing house (or another, if you prefer) and forwarded, minus a percentage, to the author. If you have PocketMoney (or any Newton application which supports the Financial Package Posting Standard), the transaction may be automatically entered into your records.
Requirements
Register supports but does not require the ScrollingDoPopup extension; if you have the extension installed, you may try to register any program installed on your Newton, not merely those programs pre-configured in RegisterUs menu. If you choose a program from beneath the RIn Your ExtrasS line, see the caveat below.
The program you are registering gets a chance to react to your registration; for example, if the program has expired, it might extend the expiration date.
Paying for a Program
To pay for a program, select it from the RProgramS pop-up menu, select the price,* and enter your credit card information. Then select RMailS from the envelope button; Register will look up your name and address and generate the proper form. Double-check the form, then press the RMailS button.

It was inspired by Peter N LewisUs Register for the Macintosh, but problems with the Newton version are not his fault. Thanks to Chris Owen for the credit card checking code, and to Hardy Macia and Rob Bruce for the buttons.
