WELCOME TO HYPERNEWT ===----------==============================================================------- 1A. Introduction 1B. Overview of Features ============================== ---=== 1A. INTRODUCTION ===--- ============================== This guide introduces you to the HyperNewt application from Foundation Systems.HyperNewt is a revolutionary new way to create and organize data on yourNewton. Its intuitive interface, flexible data management controls, andpowerful linking capabilities make HyperNewt your NewtonÕs new window toinformation.If you are new to the Newton, you will find HyperNewt to be easy to learn anduse. HyperNewt leverages on a file and folder metaphor that you may be used tofrom a desktop computer. HyperLinks are similar to aliases or shortcuts on yourdesktop computer.If you are an experienced Newton user, HyperNewt may begin to change yourrelationship with data on your Newton. HyperNewt leverages on the NewtonÕs soupdata architecture, allowing access to virtually all types of data throughHyperLinks, and the ability to organize data hierarchically. HyperNewt givesyou the flexibility and power to arrange your information around meaningfulrelations. ====================================== ---=== 1B. OVERVIEW OF FEATURES ===--- ======================================With HyperNewt, you can: o Organize your notes hierarchically using a familiar filing system metaphor. HyperNewt supports dragging and dropping of files, folder aliases, and more! o Link data from all the built-in appsÑNames, Calls, Extras Drawer, Dates, To Do, NewtWorks, Notes, and the In/Out Box, and 3rd-party software into HyperNewtÕs filing system. o Have a central launching pad for all your applications and files.HyperNewt can be an excellent choice for your backdrop application. o Keep track of every detail of an important business project in a single location: contacts, spreadsheets, word processing documents, meetings, applications, calls, notes, travel itineraries, and expenses! -------==============================================================----------=== 2. INSTALLING HYPERNEWT ===----------==============================================================------- 2A. System Requirements 2B. Installation 2C. Setting up HyperNewt 2D. Opening HyperNewt ===================================== ---=== 2A. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ===--- ===================================== HyperNewt requires the following for proper operation: o A Newton device running the Newton 2.0 operating system or later. o Adequate storage spaceÑHyperNewt approximately 120K; keep in mind that you will need additional space for any data you create with HyperNewt. ============================== ---=== 2B. INSTALLATION ===--- ==============================*************************************************************************If you have installed and used HyperNewt 1.0, you will need to delete theHyperNewt 1.0 preferences. Use a soup utility application such as TrashPak toremove the HyperNewt system preference file.*************************************************************************If the HyperNewt software is not already installed on your Newton device, youwill need to install it on your Newton device or onto a PC card. To do this,you use connection software or a utility that can install Newton softwarepackagesÑsuch as the Newton Connection Utilities or Newton Backup Utility.The HyperNewt software consists of one package: o HyperNewt.pkgFollow the instructions that came with your connection software to installHyperNewt on your Newton device. Once installed, the HyperNewt application willbe placed in the Unfiled folder in the Extras Drawer. ====================================== ---=== 2C. SETTING UP HYPERNEWT ===--- ======================================If HyperNewt is being installed on your Newton for the first time, HyperNewtwill have to setup your Newton to operate properly. The HyperNewt will installthe following items when you first load HyperNewt: o HyperNewt Preferences o Notes indexes: HyperNewt will add five indexes to the Notes soup that will help HyperNewt keep track of the directory structure and allow you to sort information based on title, date, and stationery type.. o HyperLink Managers (HLM): Default HLMÕs for the following applications: Calls Card Media (Sine of the Times) Cigar Box (Catamount Software) Dates Extras Drawer Gulliver (True North) Home Inventory (Catamount Software) In/Out Box MORGAN (Catamount Software) Names Newton Books NewtWorks Notes Stationery Construction Kit (StandAlone, Inc.) To Do ListAfter installing the following items on your Newton, HyperNewt will ask you ifyou want to create HyperNewt folders based on your Notepad folders. Tapping onyes will:1. Create HyperNewt directories based on your current Notepad folders2. Add HyperNewt-specific information to each Note in your Notes soup and place each note in the proper HyperNewt folder.If you have a large number of notes, this process may take a few minutes.Tapping on no will not update any notes in your Notes soup and will not createany directories.*************************************************************************While HyperNewt uses the Notes soup to store new notes and HyperLinks, it willnot display any note that does not have the HyperNewt-specific directoryinformation. You can always add this information to notes at a later date fromthe HyperNewt Utilities menu.************************************************************************* =================================== ---=== 2D. OPENING HYPERNEWT ===--- ===================================After installing HyperNewt, there are two ways to open it:1. Tap on the HyperNewt icon in the Extras Drawer2. Tap on HyperNewt's floating icon in the upper-right hand corner. Opening HyperNewt, you will be greeted by either the default view (the view inwhich you create and edit notes) or the Overview (where you see a listing ofnotes). -------==============================================================----------=== 3. USING HYPERNEWT'S HIERARCHICAL FILING SYSTEM ===----------==============================================================------- 3A. What is a Hierarchical Filing Systems? 3B. Uses of an HFS on the Newton 3C. Creating new items 3D. Creating new folders 3E. Navigating through the HyperNewt HFS 3F. The HyperNewt Toolbar ======================================================= ---=== 3A. WHAT IS A HIERARCHICAL FILING SYSTEM? ===--- =======================================================A Hierarchical Filing Systems (HFS) is commonly referred to as "folders withinfolders". On the Macintosh, it is best represented by the Finder on Macintoshcomputers and on Windows-based PC's, it is represented by the Explorerapplication. ============================================== ---=== 3B. USES OF AN HFS ON THE NEWTON ===--- ============================================== One of the great features of the Newton is that it doesn't have a filing systemin the traditional sense. Rather, Newton's filing system most closely resemblesthat of a database. Data in the Notes, Calls, Names, etc. applications arefiled away in "folders" which resemble database tags more than they do thetraditional folder of a desktop computer.Most Newton applications store their data in individual soups that otherapplications can use. Compare this with the problems of data conversion andtranslation on the desktop and you can see the benefits of the Newton's soupdata architecture.HyperNewt leverages on this architecture by layering a Hierarchical FilingSystem on top of the Notes soup. Data is still stored in the Notes soup, butnow each note has HyperNewt-specific information associated with it,information that tells HyperNewt where the note is in the HFS.An HFS should not replace the standard filing system on the Newton, but it canbe used to enhance the capabilities of the Newton. Out of the box, the Newtoncan only create a total of 24 folders for its applications, 12 global folders(present in all applications) and 12 local folders (folders that are visibleonly in a given application). You cannot have subfolders within these folders,making data organization a tricky process.The problem of a limited amount of folders and the inability to have "folderswithin folders" is one that is solved with HyperNewt's HFS for the Newton. And,with HyperLinks, the HyperNewt's HFS system can handle any type of data on theNewton. A user can have Names, Calls, Dates, Notes, Spreadsheets, and moreviewable in the same folder!Below are some examples of what is now possible with HyperNewt's HFS for theNewton: a. Any number of folders and subfolders can be created as allowed by available storage and heap. b. Better data organization. Now, users can create subfolders of their Business folder to keep track of: Projects, Meetings, Presentations, Contacts, and Travel Notes. c. Visual. HyperNewt's HFS is visual, meaning a user can instantly see she is in the directory hierarchy. Users see at once the list of directories and items, can easily move from folder to folder, and perform data management operations such as alias creation, file duplication, and file deletion. d. Data can be sorted by stationery type, date, or title. ==================================== ---=== 3C. CREATING NEW ITEMS ===--- ==================================== HyperNewt closely resembles the Notepad in functionality. To create a new note,checklist, outline, recording, or other notepad stationery, tap on the Newbutton and select the type of stationery you would like to create.New items will be placed in the current directory. ====================================== ---=== 3D. CREATING NEW FOLDERS ===--- ====================================== Tap on the New button and select "Folder" from the list of items. The NewDirectory Dialog Box will open, allowing you name the new directory and changethe default sort order. ====================================================== ---=== 3E. NAVIGATING THROUGH THE HYPERNEWT HFS ===--- ====================================================== Tap on the folder name to go to that folder. Tap on an item's name to open thatitem for editing.*************************************************************************Tapping on a folder or item's icon will signal to HyperNewt that you aredragging and dropping the item. To open a folder or an item, you must tap onits name from the overview, not its icon.*************************************************************************To go up one directory in the directory overview, you have three options: 1. Tap on the directory picker at the top of the directory overview (where you have a list of directories). A menu will appear showing the parent directory path. Choose an item to go to that directory. 2. Up One Directory button: Below the directory picker is a button for moving one level up in the hierarchy. It is has an icon with an up arrow in the folder, next to two periods ".." 3. Directory Pathname: This is explained in the section on the HyperNewt toolbar. Tap on the directory pathname to get the HyperNewt Goto Directory Dialog Box.If you are in the default view, you have the following options: 1. Tap on the folder tab for the current directory at the top-right of your screen. A menu will appear containing the parent directory path, followed by a listing of directories (if any) of the current directory. Choose an item to go to that directory. 2. Directory pathname. If the HyperNewt toolbar is visible, tap on the pathname to get the Goto Dialog Box. 3. Tap on the overview button to go to the Directory Overview. ======================================= ---=== 3F. The HyperNewt Toolbar ===--- ======================================= The HyperNewt toolbar makes navigation in the overview and default view simpleand fast. The HyperNewt toolbar consists of the following items:1. Directory Pathname: This will show you where you are in HyperNewt's directory structure at all times. As you move through directories, the text string will change to reflect the directory path you are currently in. Tap on the text to bring up the HyperNewt Goto Directory Dialog Box where you can easily jump to another directory.2. Navigation Buttons: Seven buttons make navigating through your notes and HyperLinks a breeze. The buttons are from left to right: a. Goto Beginning: Takes you to the first note in the current directory. b. Goto End: Takes you to the last note in the current directory. c. Previous Note: Takes you to the previous note in the current directory. d. Next Note: Takes you to the next note in the current directory. e. Scroll Up: Scrolls the display up by 50 pixels. f. Scroll Up: Scrolls the display down by 50 pixels. g. Overview: Switches between the default view and the overview. If you are left-handed, the navigation buttons will appear on the left-handside of the display for an easier reach and the directory pathname will appearon the right. Otherwise, the navigation buttonbar will appear on the right andthe directory pathname will be on the left.You can hide the toolbar by tapping on the Info button and selecting the menuitem: "Hide Toolbar". Show it by tapping again on the Info button and selectedthe item: "Show Toolbar".-------==============================================================----------=== 4. USING HYPERLINKS ===----------==============================================================------- 4A. What is a HyperLink? 4B. Uses of HyperLinks 4C. List of applications supported by HyperNewt 4D. Creating HyperLinks 4E. Displaying HyperLinks ====================================== ---=== 4A. WHAT IS A HYPERLINK? ===--- ======================================A HyperLink is a notepad stationery that contains a link to some piece ofinformation stored on the Newton. This information might be a name card, acall, a NewtWorks word processing document, a QuickFigure Works spreadsheet, aGulliver itinerary, or a Newton Book page number. In fact virtually data thatcan be beamed, printed, routed, or emailed on your Newton can be HyperLinked! ==================================== ---=== 4B. USES OF HYPERLINKS ===--- ====================================Imagine being able to have, in one folder, all the information associated withan important business project you are working on: contacts, meeting notes,presentation outlines, spreadsheets, travel plans, and fax items. WithHyperLinks this is finally possible.HyperLinks allow you to be able to access a file from multiple folders. All youhave to do is duplicate a HyperLink and move it to another folder!When you have the ability to link any piece of data on your Newton into acentral location, will that change your relationship with data? Thepossibilities are endless ... how will you use HyperLinks? ============================================================= ---=== 4C. LIST OF APPLICATIONS SUPPORTED BY HYPERNEWT ===--- ============================================================= There are 13 HyperLink Managers that HyperNewt supports out of the box: Calls Cigar Box (Catamount Software) Dates Extras Drawer Gulliver (True North) Home Inventory (Catamount Software) In/Out Box MORGAN (Catamount Software) Names NewtWorks Newton Books Notepad To Do ListIn addition, HyperNewt supports HyperLinks with the following products: CardMedia (Sine of the Times) Stationery Construction Kit (StandAlone, Inc.) ===================================== ---=== 4D.

The HyperLink Dialog Box will appear.Select the directory in which you want to place the HyperLink and tap on the"Create HyperLink" button.Some applications require some extra consideration. They are outlined below: o Extras Drawer: Built-in applications and frozen applications cannot be HyperLinked. We are investigating ways to HyperLink these types of files in the Extras Drawer. o Newton Books: HyperLinking within Newton Books creates HyperLinks to the current page in the book. Now you can have a virtually unlimited number of bookmarks! o Dates: HyperLinking in the Month, Day, Agenda, or Year view will create a HyperLink that opens up to the correct view. HyperLinking meetings, to do's, and other events will work normally. Now you can have HyperLinked entries to jump to a particular month or day in Dates! o In/Out Box: Some HyperLinked entries will not have the correct title visible. You may have to edit the title yourself. ======================================= ---=== 4E. DISPLAYING HYPERLINKS ===--- =======================================Go to the directory where your HyperLinks are located. Tap on them from theoverview to open them in the correct application.
