What is PopExtras?
	PopExtras consists of two parts, the first being a button which
is attached to the status bar of the background application (eg
Notepad).  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 the Newton.  Tapping on an item in the list will
place a check to the left of the app name, tapping again will remove the
check. Simple.  There is also a Clear button which will uncheck all
items.  Next to the Clear button is an Open button which can be used to
open the selected app (whether it is checked or not).  Checking and
unchecking items will be immediately reflected in the popup menu (only
visible if you close the Extras Drawer after opening PopExtras).

Some Important Information
	PopExtras will create a union soup called ñPopExtras:cometî, at
install time, on your Newton.  This soup is used to store the items that
will be displayed in the popup.  I have tested PopExtras rigorously to
ensure it does not incur the wrath of the ïGrip-O-DeathÍ god.  This is
not a guarantee, just a fair amount of reassurance ;-)
	It should also be noted that this version of PopExtras will only run
on Newton 2.0 devices.

it for any reasonable length of time, you are encouraged to send a

	Please include an e-mail address where you can be contacted. 
This fee entitles you to upgrades and bug-fixes plus releases of any
software I produce in the future.

Registered Users
	When you pay your shareware registration fee I will send you a
registration code, which will unleash the _power_ of PopExtras! Well,
it'll remove that annoying "EVALUATION COPY!" notice anyway... :)
	If you've registered a previous version AND haven't received your
rego code then please contact me...it means I couldn't contact you via
email because you've moved service providers or someother lame reason!

Bug Reports, Ideas, etc.
	Either send snail-mail to the above address, or preferably, send
e-mail to gkm@magna.com.au.
	If you have an idea for a Newton application, or need a custom
solution, drop me a line.

Distribution of PopExtras
	You are hereby encouraged to copy and distribute PopExtras for
non-commercial use with the following restrictions:

	´ You may copy and distribute the ñPopExtras Packageî file
(containing "PopExtras.pkg" and "READ ME.txt"), but
not the individual Newton application and document files.  This will
ensure that users receive a complete package with all documentation.  

	´ You may not modify the contents of the ñPopExtras Packageî
file in
any way.  Re-packaging into other formats (eg .ZIP) is ok, just include
all the original files.

	´ You may not charge any fee for the use, copying, or
distribution
of the product.

	´ Organisers of 'shareware library' CD-ROMs (eg 'AMUG - BBS In A
Box' - hello Michael, Ashley et al!) etc, who wish to include the
ñPopExtras Packageî file, should contact me first.  Under most
circumstances, I will allow its inclusion.

Last but not least.
	Thanks go to Peter Marks for the initial idea, and to all those
souls out there who asked me to produce a version that would work under
NOS2.0.

Version Log:
2.0	´ Whoa...big step, NOS 2.0 complience...only took a few hours
to get it running nicely under 2.0. No functional changes. Some code
tidying. I'm not using quite so many undocumented features now! There
are still a couple - but I won't tell if you don't! Added registration
scheme to save sending out personalised copies everytime someone
registered...
1.2	´ Attended to 'PopExtras Most Wanted Fix'.  When an app was
deleted from the Newt, and it appeared in PopExtras' soup, it was
impossible to remove that single item.  You had to clear the soup and
re-enter all your apps.  This problem has been fixed by showing all apps
that appear in PopExtras' soup.  Apps that are in the soup, but not on
the Newt, are displayed in bold (and underlined, you can't miss 'em!). 
To clear them from the soup just remove their 'tick' by tapping on them.
	´ Suppressed the stray 'ink-spots' which sometimes appeared when
tapping an item in the application list (purely cosmetic problem, but it
annoyed the hell out of me!).
	´ Added ability to access the Card package.
	´ Increased speed of PopExtras startup.
	´ Added registration name in about screen.

1.1	´ Added Notification (other than a beep), if the item that is
selected from the menu cannot be found on the Newt.  
	´ Added support for opening books.
	´ Added company logo to about screen (sorry John!).
	´ The popup list is now sorted alphabetically.
	´ The list of installed apps is also sorted alphabetically.
	´ Scrolling within PopExtras is now a bit quicker.

1.0	´ Initial Release
