< Overview >
    PrefsPatch is a small patch for the Newton MessagePad which corrects
what we consider an annoying user interface "feature."  Namely, that you
have to click twice to exit the Prefs or Formulas rolls.  When you install
Prefs Patcher, 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.  The application also
places a dual-function button on the notepad status bar for one tap access
to the Formulas and Prefs rolls.

< Installation Notes >
    Install PrefsPatch as you would any other package (with the Connection
Kit or some other utility).  PrefsPatch will work if installed on a PCMCIA
card - the patch and notepad button will disappear if you remove the card
though.

< How does it work? >
    When PrefsPatch starts up, it fixes the Formulas and Prefs rolls by
placing a REAL close button over the existing one.  It also installs a
button on the Notepad using Jesse Devine's Button Development Kit.  When
you tap on it, the button determines whether or not you hit the Formulas
half (designated by the "F") or the Prefs half (designated by the "P").
