Preface
-------
Just a note before we get startet: This program is shareware and must be registered for only $10 if used after a trial period of about 4 weeks. Although the functionallity of this version isn't limitted in any way, registered user have a couple of advantages (for details see chapters "Shareware" and "Registration").

Any suggestions or error reports are welcome (even from unregistered users). My postal and email address can be found in chapter "Registration". Since English is not my native language I apologize for possible "unidiomatic expressions" and
errors. So any corrections in this respekt are welcome, too.

I hope you will enjoy this program - so much that you gladly register your copy :-)

BTW: Please visit my homepage for "http://pobox.com/~bnet/thorsten" for new versions of Wunschzettel and for other Newton stuff I have written.


What is "Wunschzettel" good for?
--------------------------------
"Wunschzettel" is the German word for"list of wishes". Consequently it is a (check-)list manager. I know, there are more list managers "out there". But this one has a special feature: Each item you once made can be "remembered" by "Wunschzettel". So after entering its name once you can reuse the item over and over again just on two "taps".

A typical example is a shopping list. Instead of writing again and again items like "bread", "tooth-paste", ... you can select these items from dynamically growing popup lists. After a short time you have all those things in your popup that you might want to buy. This is also quite usefull to check out if you have forgotten anything to put on your list.

More Features of "Wunschzettel":
 - Supports multiple lists (each one has its own pop-up lists).
 - On each list, items can be assigned to one (of three) different named categories.
 - Each item is in one of three states: selected&unchecked, selected&checked, not selected.
 - Each selected item can have an additional, temporary small note.
 - Sort selected items by four different criteria: alpha, checked+alpha, categories+alpha, checked+categories+alpha.
 - Display lists in two different modes: standard or compact.
 - You can specify the font for display and printout (in printout also the font-size can be selected)

There are quite a few areas where Wunschzettel can be found useful - just give it a try!


System requierements
--------------------
"Wunschzettel" is designed for Newton1.x Systems but since V1.22 Newton2.0 is also supported: It works in landscape mode and has an "i-button" that supports "i++" - see chapter "More good stuff" to read more about it.


Basics
------
Each item on a list belongs to one of three categories. So the first thing to do when creating a new list is to name those categories (and of course to name the list itself). Therefore a dialog opens after pressing "New List". The same dialog shows up when tapping on "Change Titles" to change the names of an existing list and its categories.

For each categorie there is a button in the status bar which opens a popup menu containing all items of this categories that are not already on the actual list. Tapping an item moves it from this "stock" to the list.

At the bottom of this popup there are to special menu items:
- "New Item": Open a dialog which allows you to specify the name of a new item
- "Select All" : Move all items of this category to the list

An item can be in one of three states:
1.) on the list but not checked  (i.e. "need to buy/do")
2.) on the list and checked (i.e. "already bought/done")
3.) not on the list but in the "stock" of its category (i.e. "might want to buy/do again")

So, at first you put an item on the list (unchecked) after it is done you check it and at last you put all checked items back in the stocks using the "put back" button at the left of the action button (envelope).

If you want to modify an existing item just double-tap it and a dialog appears allowing you to rename it or change its category. To permanently erease an item scrub it on the list.

When there are more items on the list than can be displayed, scroll arrows appear on the right hand side: one to scroll half a page and one to scroll to the beginning/end. The standard arrows are used for switching between lists.


Tips&Tricks/Limitations
-----------------------
- The "i-button" is used for opening the about-box (where the registration code can be entered) and the preferences-dialog. You can select the font for the different display modes and for printing. There is also an option called "Delayed Saving": Wunschzettel saves all modifications periodically to avoid loss of data when you have to reset yout Newton (i.e. due to heap shortage). With large lists this will cause a short - but noticeable pause. With this slider you can control the delay after a modification until the list is saved. Apart from this setting a list will always be saved when switching to another list or closing "Wunschzettel".

- On Newton1.x systems dragging a dialog is simmilar to Newton2.0: you have a small spot at the top border for drgagging.

- Do not check "Categories" (displaying the category after each item) when modifying the name of a category because in this case it is very slow.

- I recommend not to remove a memory card when "Wunschzettel" is displaying a list that is located on that store. If you have to, please wait after the last modification for at least the time you specified at "Delayed Saving" before removing the card to avoid loss of data!


Version history
---------------

Shareware
---------
This program is shareware. So you may try it for free for about four weeks. After this trial period you have to pay a (little) fee for using it at a regular basis.

Since you should be able to really try this program there are no functional limitations when using an unregistered copy!

But some people need a "motivation" to register their copy which is very easy (just put money in an envelope and send it to my address listed below) and cheap - see chapter "Registration" for details. So registered users have the following advantages:

1.) Email support for questions/problems

2.) For the present I email new versions of "Wunschzettel" to registered users - if they like and their email account is capable of receiving emails of that size.

3.) When using this program a notification will be displayed that you have to register your copy.  The more you use this program the more often the notifications are displayed. After entering the registration code no more messages are displayed.

4.) Printouts (and faxes) with an unregistered copy will contain a notice that they were made using an unregistered version.

And everybody has the advantage that I will continue working on the program.


Registration
------------
Registration costs US$10 and is bound to one person (name entered in the Newton).

Registered users receive a code that depend on the name as written in the owner info. To enter the code just press the "Code"-button in the "About"-box and fill in the code at the lower left corner. Afterwards your copy is registered and the advantages mentioned above will take effect. The code will be valid for all future shareware-versions of Wunschzettel.

If your name changes (i.e. marriage) just send me an email with the new name and I will return the new code number. If you switch between two different owner names (i.e. official and private) just send me both - the program supports two codes at the same time.

There are three different ways of paying for Wunschzettel:
1.) SWREG
If you are a Compuserve member (or have a friend who is) you can use 
GO SWREG, ID 9402 to register for US$10.
Please use the exact owner name (for the registration code) in the SWREG procedure.

2.) Sending Cash
Send US$10 (cash) or the equivalent amount in your local currency in a letter to 
Thorsten Lange
Tivoliweg 7
21079 Hamburg
GERMANY
*** please send only cash and not a check ***
Be sure to include your exact owner name and your email address! It's best to wrap the money in some thick paper and send me an email note that the money is on it's way. Sending cash really worked without any problems, so far!
  
3.) Kagi (credit cards, US checks, ...)
You can pay by credit card, US checks, ...  using "Kagi Shareware":
- Install "Newton Register" on your Newton. The latest version can be found at
   ftp://ftp.rahul.net/pub/flasheridn/Register.sit.hqx
- Open "Register" on your Newton and select "WZettel:TAL!" as program.
- Select the kind of payment and fill out the apropriate fields.
- Select "Mail" from the envelope button.
- Double-check the form generated by the program then press "Mail". If you can't send email from your Newton you will have to retype the mail into your hosts email program. Tap the "Show Text" button in the email slip. It isn't very long. Retype the data exactly as it appears in the email message. Then send the email message to shareware@kagi.com.

NOTEs about using Kagi:
- If you want to send a check or cash select "Query", mail that form and wait until you receive a registration number. Please don't send cash or checks until you have received a registration number!!!
- Only contact Kagi if you have a question about the payment. Don't bother them about i++ or a non-working code. Kagi only collects the fees but does not know anything about i++. My (the author's) email address can be found below.
- If you have comments about "Newton Register" please contact the author: FlaSheridn@kagi.com.
- "Newton Register" encodes your credit card data when sending it as email to discourage casual sniffers, but it is not as secure as PGP. The package only sets up a mail message. The responsibility for actually executing it is yours!

More Newton Stuff from Thorsten Lange
-------------------------------------
Check out my Homepage http://pobox.com/~bnet/thorsten for the actual list of my applications together with more informations about them (screenshots,...)

> AddressAccess < (Shareware)
The faster card file. AddressAccess supplies an easy and efficient interface to the cards stored in your Newton - no more using the slow overview function to find a person's address.

AddressAccess V1.61 is now available - with improved speed and better look and feel (compared to V1.5x). Since V1.20 there are lots of new features and it's now 2.0-savvy!

AddressAccess features:
 - comfortable editor for easily changing or adding cards.
 - Sort your cards by first name, last name or company.
 - use a lot of 2.0-names-fields (multiple addresses, custom fields) even with 1.x systems (stored NOS2.0 compatible also on 1.x systems)
 - Address is formatted according to the country.
 - Nearly infinitely long notes for each card are possible.
 - Direct dialling of phone numbers without any further dialogs.
 - Direct beaming of cards.
 - Direct beaming of your card.
 - together with "i++" V1.10 or higher on 2.0-systems:
   - create a new card directly from the "i" button
   - open the built-in names
 - And a lot of user-configurable options (redefine names button, select one of four different keyboards,...)

After being quite a success in Germany an English version is now available.
Works with Newton1.x and 2.0.


> i++< (Shareware)
With i++ you can extent/customize the menu shown when tapping an "i-Button". Menu items can be included  to open applications (without opening the extras drawer, frozen apps will activated on the fly and afterwards frozen again) or to invoke other special actions (like changing the screen orientation, reset your Newton, system info reports battery and memory status or toggle backlighting).

Those info buttons are present in most Newton2.0 applications, since it is a standard component of the 2.0 user interface. So "your" special purpose menu will be reachable in most situations without getting in your way when you do not need it.

In my opinion i++ is a "natural" extension of the Newton2.0 user interface. 

Please note: i++ does not support Newton1.x systems!
Available in German and in English.

> Xchange < (Freeware)
is a small currency-conversion table, similar to the built-in one but with additional features:
 - Exchange rates are saved
   (just enter the rate once and use it during your vacation).
 - Store as many different rates as you like 
   (as long as there is any free memory left).
 - Rates and currencies can be named.

Works with Newton1.x and 2.0.
Available in German and in English.
