PopExtras©1994, Gavin Maxwell,All rights reserved.What is PopExtras? PopExtras consists of two parts, the first being a button which is attached tothe bottom of the NotePad next to the keyboard icon etc. Tapping this buttonwill present you with a pop-up menu containing a user definable list of appsinstalled on the Newton. Tapping an app name will open that app! The secondpart of PopExtras is the utility that is used to select which apps will bedisplayed in the popup button. This utility consists of a scrolling list whichcontains the apps installed on the Newton. Tapping on an item in the list willplace a check to the left of the app name, tapping again will remove the check.Simple. There is also a Clear button which will uncheck all items. Next to theClear button is an Open button which can be used to open the selected app(whether it is checked or not). This is useful if you have filled your ExtrasDrawer. Checking and unchecking items will be immediately reflected in thepopup menu (only visible if you close the Extras Drawer after openingPopExtras).Some Important Information PopExtras will create a union soup called ÒPopExtras:cometÓ, at install time,on your Newton. This soup is used to store the items that will be displayed inthe popup. I have tested PopExtras rigorously to ensure it does not incur thewrath of the ÔGrip-O-DeathÕ god. This is not a guarantee, just a fair amount ofreassurance ;-)ShareWare notice PopExtras is shareware, so if you like this app and intend using it for anyreasonable length of time, you are encouraged (pleaded with!) to send a chequemade out for $10 in Australian funds, (money orders are also acceptable!) to thebelow address.

Version 1.2 will upgrade the existing soup on your Newton!Version Log:1.2 ¥ Attended to 'PopExtras Most Wanted Fix'. When an app was deleted from theNewt, and it appeared in PopExtras' soup, it was impossible to remove thatsingle item. You had to clear the soup and re-enter all your apps. Thisproblem has been fixed by showing all apps that appear in PopExtras' soup. Appsthat are in the soup, but not on the Newt, are displayed in bold (andunderlined, you can't miss 'em!). To clear them from the soup just remove their'tick' by tapping on them. ¥ Suppressed the stray 'ink-spots' which sometimes appeared when tapping anitem in the application list (purely cosmetic problem, but it annoyed the hellout of me!). ¥ Added ability to access the Card package. ¥ Increased speed of PopExtras startup. ¥ Added registration name in about screen.1.1 ¥ Added Notification (other than a beep), if the item that is selected fromthe menu cannot be found on the Newt. ¥ Added support for opening books. ¥ Added company logo to about screen (sorry John!). ¥ The popup list is now sorted alphabetically. ¥ The list of installed apps is also sorted alphabetically. ¥ Scrolling within PopExtras is now a bit quicker.1.0 ¥ Initial Release
