See the documentation with each of these for more information on installing packages.* Using Super Sorter---------------------------------------------------------------------	Super Sorter is a fast list manager which lets you customize as many lists as you desire. The first time you open Super Sorter, a screen will appear titled "All Lists." From this screen you can create lists, delete entire lists, duplicate lists, and move lists to or from your card.

To view or modify a list, tap on the list name. The selected list will be hilited. This list can be deleted, duplicated or moved via the Action Button in the status bar. To view the list you can either tap the list name again, tap the "Goto List" Button, or tap the Overview Button.	When you select a list to view, the Newton will either display a setup window or your list. The setup window will appear if the list does not have a "List Type" or the "List Type" is invalid. New Lists never have a list type.	The List Type can be whatever you choose. There are several defined list types supplied for you. To select a supplied list type, tap the diamond next to "List Type." Then choose a list type. To create you own list type, write the name on the line. Tap the diamond and select "Add List Type". To Add and Delete items to your List Type use the bottom two buttons. These items represent columns in your list. Each item has a name and a type. Name your items, and select their appropriate type (text/number/date/checkbox^).
