At the end of the 30 Days, it will stop working. To avert this tragedy, you will need to get in touch with Stand Alone to register your software. You can register with us by several different methods. You will need to include the following information, no matter how you choose to register. Most importantly, you need to include your name EXACTLY as it is entered in your Newton, including spaces. We use this to generate your password, so it must be precise. You will need to specify which programs you wish to register, and include payment for each of them. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. If you are using normal mail, you can send us a check as well. Make sure to include your card number, the expiration date, and what type of card you are using. You also need to give us a way to get in touch with you. Email is the preferred way, followed by your address and phone number. An Email address is not strictly necessary, but it will result in much faster service. For instant gratification, register by phone, and pay using Visa or Mastercard. To do so, call (773) 477-2492 and we will give you a password right over the phone. Alternatively, you can send us a check to the address below. You can also Email us one of several ways. The application has a Register section under the button. Tap on that to open up a registration slip. If you fill out that slip, and have an Email client on your Newton, it will automatically Email us and we will send you a registration code. You could also just Email us the relevant information from your Newton or a desktop machine, and weÍll send you a code. If you are registering through Compuserve, use, GO SWREG. Once you register, you will receive a password from us. You can install this password one of two ways. There is an option to Enter Password under the menu. Tap on it to bring up a screen that has a space to enter the password. Alternatively, just install the SA Register package enclosed in the Calendar Folders archive. Select ñCalendar Foldersî from the pop-up menu at the top, and enter the password. You should get a message confirming the password.

This makes it easy to organize your information, and lets you choose to only view information from a specific folder. It works with any application that uses information from the Dates soup. 3.1 Filing Information The examples of filing information come from the internal Dates application. When you select a calendar item, you normally only have the option of filing the item to internal memory, or to any cards that you have installed. With Calendar Folders, you have the option to file the item in any of your folders. The procedure for filing calendar items is the same as for filing other items in the Newton. 3.2 Viewing Specific Folders To view a specific folder, go to the folder tab at the top of the application that uses calendar items. Then, select the folder whoÍs items you wish to view. Only information from that folder will be shown.
