ClipAssist 1.0 for Newton
) 1997, Joel M. Sciamma


Free yourself from the limitations of the clipboard and move text around your Newton with ease!

ClipAssist augments your ability to move textual items from one location to another or one application to another via drag & drop by providing a small, floating & scrollable text area into which you can drag multiple items which can then be pasted in one place or dragged out again into the fields of any slip.

Tremendously useful for adding contacts entered in the Notepad to your Names application, grabbing lots of small items from a Newton Book and pasting into a Works paper or spreadsheet, manipulating the contents of outlines and checklists or copying the contents of one slip or form to another - all without the tedious switching between applications.

Compare this to the clipboard where you can only copy one block of text and are forced to then paste it all in one location!

ClipAssist saves all text to its own soup when you add any selections or close the application.

Installation instructions:
ClipAssist is designed to work with Newton devices using OS 2.0 or later and has been tested with MP120/130 running 2.0 and MP2000 with 2.1

You will require 57k of memory to install ClipAssist (22k) and its Newton Book manual (35k).
You may install onto internal memory or a card - whatever is convenient.

Install the two files called RCA Manual.pkgS and RClipAssist.pkgS onto your Newton device with the Newton Package Installer, Newton Backup Utility or similar software.

(If you are using the Newton Connection Utilities, I recommend that you upgrade to the final 1.0 version, available online from Apple).

The software is fully functional in every respect but is time limited to a 30 day trial period.

Detailed instructions for using and registering the software are included in the Newton Book RCA ManualS that will be found in your Extras Drawer. It can be printed, has a full topic outline and hot links for easy navigation. Online help is also provided.

I hope you enjoy using ClipAssist!
