C&D 2.0 DocumentationWARNINGS, GOTCHAS AND GOOD THINGS TO KNOW C&D is meant to be a shell for your Newton. Therefore it makes sense to load it in internal memory. Otherwise some of the features and functions donÕt really make sense. IÕve made it as small as I can. When you load C&D, do it without a card in the slot, or make sure that ÒExtras->Card->Store new items on cardÓ is NOT checked. If you ever remove C&D, the keyboard icon on the Notepad may go away. Reset your Newton to bring it back. Send questions, comments, criticisms, etc... to: Gregory N. Christie Software Shaman theObjectPartnership PO Box 252 Litchfield, CT 06759 Tel. (203) 567-4547 Fax.

It (hopefully) makes certain things easier, and adds a few capabilities to you Newton. The basic screen looks like this: TitleTap the title for important version and author information.Package ListThis is a scrolling list of all packages (well, form and book parts for you tweaks out there). To open an application, tap on its name. To scroll the list up and down, tap and hold on an item in the list and drag your pen up or down past the edge of the list. Hard to describe, but easy to do.In and Out BoxesTapping on one of these buttons opens the appropriate box. As shown above, both the In Box and Out Box are empty. When you have an item in a box, its button's appearance changes: CalculatorTap on this button to open your NewtonÕs 4-banger, or if Go Figure is loaded, that will open instead.FormulasTap on this button to open your NewtonÕs formula roll.File CabinetTapping on this button opens the appropriate slip for whatever card is currently inserted in your Newton.Time ZonesOpens the Time Zone/World Map.Control PanelThis opens the following screen: You can set the contrast (MessagePad 100 only) the volume, check your NewtonÕs Battery, Temperature, Free Heap, Internal and Card Memories and Pack Up or Unpack packages. What? Tap on this button to bring up the following screen: This allow you to move packages to and from cards, remove them and store them so that they donÕt use up Newton's limited heap memory. The top list contains Unpacked (normal) packages. The bottom list contains Packed (stored) packages. To pack a package, tap on its name, select whether you want it packed to internal or card memory, and tap ÒPack->.Ó Packing can take a little while, wait until the button un-highlights before continuing. Once the app is packed, it will appear in the bottom list. When you pack a package, the original, unpacked copy may be removed from memory and later reloaded. To remove a normal package, select it from the top list and tap the upper "Remove" button. WARNING - THIS ACTION IS NOT UNDOABLE. The package will be removed from your Newton. To Unpack (reload) a package, tap its name in the bottom list, select whether you want to unpack it to internal or card memory and tap Ò<-UnPackÓ. Unpacking can also take a little while, so be patient. To remove a packed package, select it from the bottom list and tap the lower "Remove" button. The flexibility of the Packager allows you to move packages between Newtons, cards, or any combination. A couple of examples follow:Moving a package from card to Newton:1. Open the Packager.2. Pack the desired package.3. Remove the package.4. Select Pack/Unpack to Newton5. Unpack the packed package.6. Remove the packed package.Moving a package between Newtons:1. Open the Packager.2. Select Pack/Unpack to Card.3. Pack the desired package.4. Remove the unpacked package.5. Close the Packager.6. Eject the card from Newton 1 and insert it into Newton 2.7. Open the Packager.8. Select the Packed package.9. Select Pack/Unpack to Newton.10. Unpack and remove the packed package.A couple of things to keep in mind when using the Packager: Packager only works on upgraded MessagePads, MessagePad 110s and MessagePad 100s. Close the Packager when changing cards. DonÕt remove C&D:tOP from the unpacked list. DonÕt unpack C&D:tOP (if youÕve packed it previously). Pay close attention to the Pack/Unpack to setting. Have enough memory (that's storage memory, not heap) available (roughly twice the size of the largest package you want to play with) Backup before mucking around (Remove MEANS remove!). DONÕT VIOLATE LICENSE AGREEMENTSCallTapping this brings up the NewtonÕs call slip. More on this later...AssistersThese input lines allow you to keep a couple of common assist phrases ready. Just write them down and tap ÒDo.Ó C&D will remember these lines when you close it, so theyÕll always be there, ready for you. To change the lines just scrub out your text and start again.FindersSame as above but three lines to hold items you commonly look for using the NewtonÕs Find feature.ClockDuh.PrefsOpens the NewtonÕs preference roll. When you tap the ÒC&DÓ item in Preferences, the following panel is shown: The settings are as follows:You can set the time between inbox and outbox updates by choosing from the ÒUpdate everyÓ pick list: To allow C&D to log your phone calls in your NewtonÕs Dates application, check the ÒLog phone calls in DatesÓ box. When ever you use the NewtonÕs call slip (I told you IÕd get back to this) and tap ÒCall,Ó a supplemental slip pops up: Checking the boxes and tapping the close box will log the call, open the dates application, either or both.To allow C&D to detect when youÕve plugged in your modem, check the ÒAuto modem detectionÓ box. When modem detection is on, your Newton will ask you if you want to send any pending faxes or mail, or if you want to get your mail whenever you plug in a modem. NOTEÐTHIS WORKS BEST WITH LONGER UPDATE TIMES, SAY 30 SECONDS OR ONE MINUTE. MODEM DETECTION WILL ALSO INCREASE THE DRAIN ON YOUR NEWTON'S BATTERIES. Modem detection is smart enough, so you won't keep getting asked if you want to check your mail. You will be asked once whenever modem detection is enabled, C&D is open, and your modem is plugged in.To have C&D notify you when items arrive in your in box, check the ÒIn Box notificationÓ box. This box must be checked to allow the four types of notifications: To notify you when something arrives from someone in particular, check ÒNotify when item is from:Ó and write the personÕs name or eMail address on the line. You can set the notification for more than one person, just separate the names by commas. To notify you when an itemÕs subject or title contain a particular word or phrase check ÒNotify when Subject contains:Ó and write the word or phrase in the provided space. To use multiple phrases, separate them with commas. To notify you when an item contains a particular word or phrase check ÒNotify when contents contain:Ó and write the word or phrase in the provided space. To use multiple phrases, separate them with commas. To notify you whenever there is any item in the In Box, check ÒNotify on any item.Ó NOTE- THIS GETS REALLY ANNOYING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE ÒUPDATE EVERYÓ SET TO 1 OR 5 SECOND(S).The last check box , ÒAllow Auto In Box AssistantÓ enables the AutoInboxAssistant. What this does is check your in box for any items which contain the key word ÒNewtonAssistÓ If one is found, the contents of the item are sent to the assistant. A notification is popped up to let you know what is going on, and the item is removed from the inbox. Basically, if you want Bob to be at a lunch meeting Monday and you canÕt get a hold of him, you could send him eMail containing ÒNewtonAssist Lunch Monday with GregÓ and when Bob gets his mail, the schedule slip will pop up, already filled out.StylesOpens the styles palette on your Newton.ConnectionOpens the Connection Chooser on your Newton.QuickNotes buttonTap this button to open the QuickNote screen: This is a good place to write down a little note for yourself. It can handle ink, text or any combination.Close boxAnother Duh. When C&D is closed, none of the Inbox notifications work, nor the Auto modem detect or the Inbox Auto Assist. However the call logger still works. To reopen C&D, tap the "¥" bullet button on the Notepad status bar.ThatÕs it! Just be careful with the Packager and the InboxAutoAssist. IÕll probably add confirmations to both these features in the next version. Until then,Enjoy your new, improved Newton!Thanks, -Greg. Software and documentation © 1994 Gregory N. Christie.
