Picky puts a small black diamond on the top line of the Newton.  Tap the diamond for a user-defined list of topics.  Tap a topic for a user-defined list of phrases.  Tap a phrase to insert it into the current text.  For me, this has vastly increased my input speed on the Newton.

Picky comes configured with some topics of wide applicability.  Select "Settings" to add or modify topics or phrases.

Picky 1.1 has several improvements:
1. If a menu is too long to fit on the screen and the part you want isn't showing, tap outside the menu.  A new menu will pop up with the first twenty items of the previous menu removed.

2. In the Settings View, you can now scroll the item list with the arrow under the list.

3. An item list can now be sorted alphabetically.

4. There is a very short help text on the "?" button in the Settings View.
