 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!!

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

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

 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.

 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

 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.

 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.

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Shortcuts & Keyboards:CapPunishment1.2
 Size:  5K         Date:12/27/94        
 Description:
 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
1.1 now optionally strips 's from the word if it was tapped out this way.
The Newton takes care of a single apostrophe by itself. Version 1.2...

 Name  =  Find Recent 1.0
 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Shortcuts & Keyboards:Find Recent 1.0
 Size:  8K         Date:12/22/94        
 Description:
 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
Extras drawer. (But it can be deleted via the Remove Software pop-up, just
like every other software package.).

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Shortcuts & Keyboards:PrefsPatch 1.2
 Size: 10K         Date:12/12/94        
 Description:
 PrefsPatch 1.2 - PrefsPatch is a patch for the MessagePad which corrects an
annoying user interface feature. Namely, that you have to tap twice to exit
the Prefs or Formulas rolls. When you install PrefsPatch, it replaces the
close box in these rolls with one that works PROPERLY, requiring only one
click to close the roll. You can still click on the overview button to get
back to the overview. PrefsPatch also places a dual-function button on the
notepad status bar for one tap access to the Formulas and Prefs rolls. Fr

 Size:  4K         Date:12/04/94        
 Description:
 ToDo Shortcut 1.0 - I was browsing comp.sys.newton.misc on UseNet and I
came across a post by a user who wanted to be able to split his Dates
button into two parts, one to take him to dates, the other to take him to
the To Do list. Well, in the interests of future Newton compatability, and
ease of programming, I changed the idea a bit. The new method of operation
is - Click on the Dates button to go to the Schedule, Click on Dates and
drag off of the button before releasing to go directly to the To Do list.
Takes up only 2k installed.

 Description:
 Graffiti Button - All this app does is place a button in the status bar of
the notepad to bring up or close the Graffiti (tm) commercial application
(if it's installed.) I find this easier than iconifying it. NOTE - This
package is in no way officially endorsed or approved of by Palm Computing.

 QuickFind 2.52 - QuickFind 2.5.2 enhances the Find function of the Apple
Newton MessagePad in three ways. It maintains a lists of the last ten
terms that were searched. It gives you more options than just searching
the current area or in all areas. And it makes the Find button work as
comfortable as the Assist button does. Finally QuickFind 2.5.2 includes
the functionality of FindRecent 2.0, one of my Newton FreeWare titles. The
ten last terms that were searched are listed in the 'Look for' pop-up menu
for your convenience. It also offers the possibility to store up to ten
more terms permanently in this pop-up menu. If you use the Find function,
you've got to use this too! And if you don't use the Find on your...

 Picky 1.1 - Picky puts a small black diamond on the top line of the Newton.
Tap the diamond for a user-defined list of topics. Tap a topic for a
user-defined list of phrases. Tap a phrase to insert it into the current

 Description:
 TypePalette - TypePalette is an unobtrusive palette containing some
characters that are hard to enter by hand. The window can be dragged by
dragging the grey square near the right end. The close box is drawn oddly,
but works fine. All of the options require that there be a current
insertion point. Tap once in the text where you want changes to apply if
you aren't sure where the insertion point is. Copyright S. Milllman 1994

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Shortcuts & Keyboards:DumbKbd
 Size:  5K         Date:11/10/94        
 Description:
 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,...

 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...

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Shortcuts & Keyboards:X-Master 2.0
 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.

 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.

 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 -...

 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.

 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.

 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  =  UpperButtons 1.0
 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Shortcuts & Keyboards:UpperButtons 1.0
 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.

 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 =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Shortcuts & Keyboards: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.

 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.

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Shortcuts & Keyboards:NewBullet
 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.
