Newt's Cape Help
Updated March 1999
Welcome to Newt's Cape 2.0 - the most capable web-browser and book creation tool available for the Apple Newton MessagePad. Newt's Cape 2.0 will allow you to surf the Internet with your MessagePad and view and save tables, GIFs, animated GIFs, JPEGs and text. Once you have gathered information from the Internet, Newt's Cape offers you a broad number of options for further processing : you may create permanent NewtonBooks (complete with hyperlinks), fax or email pages, save the information as a formatted NewtWorks document or even have it read aloud via Macintalk. Newt's Cape can also be used to view email sent to you in HTML format, and, via the HTMList plugin, you can also easily convert Notepad items or NewtWorks documents into HTML text (useful for emailing formatted text).
Newt's Cape can be configured to meet your individual needs - take some time to read through this summary to become aware of the various settings which are available in the program.
Install NC as you would normally install a package on your Newton. It may be saved either to Internal or to Card. To take advantage of the full range of functions offered by Newt's Cape, we also recommend the installation of the plugins "NewtPack" (to create NewtonBooks), "JPEG" (to view JPEG images), "HTMList" (for HTML conversions from Notepad, NewtWorks and NewtonBooks, and for text-to-speech and emailing options via the routing button). For 1.x Newton users interested in book creation (but not web browsing), 1.x versions of Newt's Cape and NewtPack are available. An encoding package is also available for Chinese and Japanese users of Newt's Cape, and also for Russian users and anyone who wants to browse extended chars (e.g., European accented chars in ISO-8859-1).
Note: NIE must be installed on your Newton and appropriately configured to take advantage of Newt's Cape's browsing abilities. Consult your Newton manual on how to configure your Internet set-up.
To launch NC, simply tap the NC icon in the Extras drawer. This will open the floating NC interface, which contains an input field, a popup keyboard and various options. The triangles on the left of the interface expand/collapse the input field and status area.
When you are browsing web-pages on the Internet, you can minimize the Newt's Cape floating interface by tapping the "Star" button on the lower right-hand side of the status area on the interface. This will reveal the stationary book control bar which can be expanded by tapping the button to the left of the "x" (close button). Web-pages are viewed in Newt's Cape as temporary NewtonBooks (but can be saved as permanent NewtonBooks with the NewtPack plugin). In addition to the standard book control bar functions, the book control bar in Newt's Cape includes a Newt's Cape button to restore the floating interface (which can also be restored by tapping the blinking star at the top of the Newton's screen), and enhanced functions (available only if the HTMList plugin is installed) via the routing button, such as saving text as HTML to NewtWorks or to your desktop.
This help book is divided into two sections: in the first section, frequently asked questions regarding the use of Newt's Cape are answered and solutions to common problems are presented. The second section is more technical in nature, and provides a step-by-step description of how to use each of Newt's Cape's numerous features.
When you view a web-page in Newt's Cape, it creates a temporary book using items in HTML cache. However, this temporary book is replaced when you view a different document (HTML cache is not affected). In order to make the book permanent, i.e., as a NewtonBook accessible in Extras, it must be first saved as a package. (Note: only permanent books can retain annotations. Any annotations in a temporary book which is not saved as a package will be lost, and the Newton find function will not work properly (except for headings) in a temporary book. In addition, a temporary book uses more heap than a permanent book .)
The floating NC interface allows you to customize NC settings, enter URLs and perform advanced functions. The book control bar is stationary, and allows you to view web-pages as temporary NewtonBooks. The book control bar supports regular book commands (e.g., turning book pages, local bookmarks, annotations (only saved in a permanent NewtonBooks!), print/fax, etc.). Select "i/General/Other Options" and check "autohide?" if you would like the floating interface to be automatically minimized after a web-page is loaded.
In its default mode, tapping the Newt's Cape button is the same as selecting "File/Open Location". The Newt's Cape button is configurable, and can be configured, e.g., to open HTML cache by selecting "i/General/Other Options/Newt's Cape Button" and entering "HTML" in the input field. Refer to the section below entitled "NEWT'S CAPE CONTROLS" for other possibilities.
If you are viewing a item in Newt's Cape and select "View/Reload", Newt's Cape will download the most recent version from the Internet, and then delete the former item. This, like many of the features in Newt's Cape, is the procedure used by common desktop browsers.
Options which are surrounded by (parentheses) are not currently available to the user. The parentheses will disappear when the option becomes available (e.g., online-options are only available when you are online).
These settings represent the overall controls for the defaults used by NC. This section allows you to define the maximum number of HTML and Image items which may be stored in cache, how many images should be automatically loaded when viewing a web-page, and numerous other functions. Refer below to the section 2, Newt's Cape Controls, for a more specific description of these settings.
These settings can be used to specify the fonts and formats that are used when viewing a web-page using NC.
These settings can be used to specify whether web-pages should be loaded into the viewer and cache, to cache only, or whether they should be converted immediately into a NewtonBook or into a NewtWorks document.
These settings are only of interest to readers not using standard English. Refer to the section "How do I ... configure Newt's Cape so it correctly maps German/French and Italian characters?æ for a more detailed explanation.
The question mark icons or underlined text generally indicate that a URL (with a potential link to a missing image) is available. If you tap on the icon (or underlined text) with your stylus and immediately drag the stylus sharply to the right without releasing pressure, a popup menu will appear with the following options:
"Go:" gets/opens the link URL.
"Display URL:" displays the link URL in the status area (where you can select "File/Open Location").
"Cache Only:" transfers the link URL into cache (without processing it). This allows you to transfer items to cache without leaving the current item.
"Add Bookmark:" this will create a bookmark for the link URL„in case you want to go back and reschedule a set of specific items, e.g., news reports.
"Load Image:" gets the image URL if any, then reprocesses the current page. (Note: this is similar to select "View/Load with Images", and selecting this image only).
Newt's Cape provides several other methods for loading images. To select in advance the default value for the number of images Newt's Cape should load for each web-page, select "i/General/Images", select "autoLoad?" and choose the desired number of images. To load an image or images associated with a temporary NewtonBook, select "View/Load with Images....". This opens a list of all images associated with the current NewtonBook. Mark the checkboxes of the images you wish to load, and select "routing button/load" to load the images.
Whatever your preferences are with regard to images/tables/frames/size or appearance options used for viewing web-pages, PrefSets allow you to store your favorite settings as a single group, and then to simply toggle between the PrefSets without having to change individual settings. For example, a certain web-page may be cramped and difficult to read when the "ignore tables" option is off/empty. If you have a PrefSet where "ignore tables" is set to "yes", all you would have to do is activate this PrefSet, and then reload the page, which should now be much easier to read since tables are now suppressed.
Yes, it does. To find out which shortcuts are available, open Newt's Cape, make sure the cursor is in the input field, and press down the "Apple" key (the key to the immediate left of the space bar) for a few seconds. A list of available keyboard shortcuts will then pop up on the screen.
You can enter a URL into the input field by using the Newton's cut-and-paste function, entering it by hand, or by using the popup keyboard on the NC interface. Note: all web-URLs must be preceded by "http://"
With a URL showing in the NC input field, select "Bookmarks/Add Bookmark". All bookmarks are initially added to "Unfiled Bookmarks". Also, if the page has been processed by Newt's Cape, it will add the title in addition to the URL. If there is a URL that you would like to add to your bookmarks folder that is in an email in your Inbox, or in a Notepad or NewtWorks doc, highlight the URL, tap the routing button (or "Tools" in the case of NewtWorks), and select the "Add Bookmarks" option. You can also add bookmarks from items in HTML and Image cache.
Select "Bookmarks/Browse-Schedule..." and mark the checkboxes of the bookmarks you wish to change. Now select "routing button/Save as Outline" and an outline will be created in Notepad containing the marked items. Close the bookmarks folder and open the Notepad outline containing your URLs. The actual URLs are contained in <angle brackets>, while the bookmark title is the text following the brackets (e.g. <http://www.yahoo.com/headlines/news/summary.html>Yahoo! Reuters Hourly News Summary). Once you have modified the bookmark title (for one or several bookmarks), select "routing button/Newt's Cape:Add Bookmarks" and the bookmarks which you have modified will replace the older bookmarks in the bookmarks folder. Modified bookmarks are stored in Unfiled, and can be stored later in their original folders. Adding/replacing the bookmarks from Notepad requires HTMList to be installed.
Once there is a URL in the NC input field you can instruct NC to connect to the Internet by selecting "File/Open Location", or simply by tapping the NC button on the upper right-hand side of the NC interface (assuming you have not customized the NC button as described below in the section "Newt's Cape Controls").
Newt's Cape automatically stores all the web-pages you view. Text items are stored in HTML Cache, while images are stored in Image Cache. Items can be deleted by marking their checkboxes, and then selecting "Delete" in the routing button. The current item can be removed by selecting "File/Remove From Cache".
There are three ways to do this: while in the NC interface, select "File/Save Book to NewtWorks", or from the book control bar select "routing button/Save to NewtWorks" (this assumes that HTMList is installed). The third method is to mark the appropriate checkbox(es) and select "routing button/Process/Save to NewtWorks" while viewing cache overview.
To create a permanent NewtonBook, the plugin "NewtPack" must be installed. Prior to saving as a permanent NewtonBook, select "i/General/Pkg 2.x" and select "Standalone book package?" if you would like others to be able to view the package without having Newt's Cape installed. This results in a larger package size, but the package can be then be viewed without having Newt's Cape installed. Otherwise do not select "Standalone book package?" To create the permanent NewtonBook, select "File/Save as Package" while in the NC interface.
Select "File/Open HTML Cache..." and check the items you wish to save as permanent NewtonBooks (or NewtWorks documents). Now tap the routing button for the options:
+ "Process" This allows you to batch save multiple URLs as permanent NewtonBooks or as NewtWorks documents. (Note: currently this can be used on bookmark items; however, if the items are not in cache, they will have to be fetched first, opening the communications connection and decreasing available heap, etc.. We recommend therefore that you only use this function in cache overview, on already-cached items.)
++ "Save as Package" will save checked items as permanent NewtonBooks.
++ "Save to NewtWorks" will save checked items as NewtWorks documents.
While in NewtWorks, tap "Tools" and select "Save as HTML" (this assumes that HTMList is installed). In Notepad, tap the routing button, and select "Save as HTML". These items may be viewed directly from NewtWorks via "Tools" and selecting "Newt's Cape" or from Notepad via the routing button and selecting "Newt's Cape:Open".
There are two ways to do this: while in the NC interface, select "File/Save Book to NewtWorks", or, from the book control bar, select "routing button/Save to NewtWorks" (this assumes that HTMList is installed).
Fonts can be changed via "i/Appearance/Tag" controls. Tags "H1" to "H6" generally affect the fonts used for the headings of a web- page, while tag "P" affects the font used for the body of a web-page. If you are curious about the fonts used by a particular web-page, you can view them by either saving the page in HTML format to NewtWorks (select "File/Save as HTML to NewtWorks") or select "View/Document Source". While in the book control bar, select "routing button/Save as HTML to NewtWorks".
Select "i/Appearance" and set "Above" to: "'top" for the H1 tag. If you have encoding (and the appropriate language and font plugins installed), change font Family to display Japanese and Chinese pages.
Select "i/General/Images/autoLoad?" and choose whether Newt's Cape should automatically load none, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15 or all images from a web-page. Trying to load cached items without images will prompt the "Connect" slip to appear for all settings other than "none". Tap the "x" to dismiss the Connect slip and view the cached items.
Select "i/General/Images" and set "autoLoad?" to none and only load selected images; you can also reduce maximum cache size, and select "b&w" resolution for graphics.
This feature requires the HTMList plugin. While viewing a NewtonBook, decide which pages you would like to email, beam or speak. Now tap the routing button, and select the "page" option immediately below the dotted line. If you would like to send just the currently opened page, select "Current Page". To send the entire document, select "All Pages". To send a range of pages (e.g., 3 to 7), select "Page Range" and fill in the page numbers.
Once you have done the above, tap the close button. Now select the routing button again, and select one of the options (i.e., mail, beam, fax, speak). If you don't see the desired option, tap the routing button twice to generate a second list of options.
The only way to preserve images is to create a NewtonBook of the document, and then to mail the package to another Newton user. To create a NewtonBook, select "File/Save as Package". This requires the plugin "NewtPack" to be installed. If the recipient does not have NC installed, prior to saving as package, select "i/General/Pkg 2.x" and select "Standalone book package?". This results in a larger package size, but the package can be viewed without having Newt's Cape installed.
From the book control bar, tap "routing button/Fax" and select the page numbers to be faxed.
Open the NC floating interface and select "Bookmarks/Browse-Schedule". Mark the checkboxes for the URLs you would like NC to load automatically. Select "routing button/Schedule" and set the starting time. The frequency options let you determine how often the URLs are loaded: only once, immediately, hourly (every sixty minutes from the initial starting time), twice daily (every twelve hours from the initial starting time), daily, daily (except weekend) or weekly. Password and name information are optional. Tap the "Schedule" box at the lower left to confirm your settings. (Note: network communications are inherently unpredictable - do not assume that NC will always be able to disconnect from the Internet after it has retrieved the requested URLs.) The loading of multiple URLs is known as "batch loading", with a queue being formed as Newt's Cape automatically loads one URL after another. You can also schedule downloads of items in HTML and Image cache.
You can download a single or even multiple URLs contained on a note by highlighting the URL(s), and tapping "routing button/Newt's Cape:getURL". This is very convenient as such URLs do not have to be first added to bookmarks. Note: multiple URLs must be separated by a single carriage return. The loading of multiple URLs is known as "batch loading", with a queue being formed as Newt's Cape automatically loads one URL after another.
The fastest way to download URLs from the Internet is via "batch" loading of multiple URLs, discussed above under the questions "How do I ...- schedule URLs for automatic downloading? and - download URLs directly from the Notepad?" Another method of minimizing the time spent online is to select "i/Process/Cache Only". With this setting, web-pages are stored directly to cache, bypassing the viewer and thereby reducing processing time. When you are done downloading, you can select "File/ Reset HTTP" and tap the flashing star to promptly disconnect from the Internet.
Since NC can convert HTML text to a formatted NewtWorks document, you can save documents on your desktop in HTML format, and send these as plain text attachments to your Newton. To view such items, simply go to your InBox, tap the routing button, and select "Newt's Cape: Open". To convert this text into a formatted NewtWorks document, select "File/Save Book to NewtWorks" while in the NC interface, or from the book control bar select "routing button/Save to NewtWorks".
To send formatted text as email, while in NewtWorks, tap "Tools" and select "Save as HTML". In Notepad, tap the routing button, and select "Save as HTML". These items may then be routed to your Out Box as email. (Note: at present, formatting in NewtWorks documents is preserved more accurately than the formatting in a Notepad item.)
Simply tap the InOut Box icon, and tap receive mail as you would usually do. The Newton can load web-pages and download email simultaneously. In fact, with Newt's Cape, you can download web-pages, send off your mail and work on NewtWorks documents or a Notepad item all at the same time.
Select "i/General" to find the "Cookies" settings. Here you are given three options:
++ "Skip" skips all cookies. Newt's Cape does not save cookies, nor does it send cookies; this also removes any earlier cookies.
++ "Ask" confirm whether to keep/send cookies for each host.
++ "Keep" keep/send cookies (without asking).
Newt's Cape now offers several levels of frames support. To fully automate the loading of frames site. Select "i/General/HTML" and activate "autoload frames?" and "merge frames source?" Then select "i/General/Other Options" and activate "Include Frames" by entering a non-empty value (e.g., yes) in the input field. You will also see the option "Map FRAME to tag" - this allows you to specify the style of the frame header. You can enter any of the Appearance tags in the input field - I've entered the tag "address" in the input field, since I want the frames headers to appear in italics. The default tag is H1 (so headings appear in book's Table of contents).
When Newt's Cape comes to a web-site using frames, and the above settings have been set, NC will load each frame as a separate HTML cache item. Once all the frames have been loaded into cache, NC will merge these items into a main page. (This will take place immediately if NC is loading a single URL: if you are batch loading several URLs at the same time, the merge will take place the first time you select one of the frames from HTML cache). The main page will have an asterisk (*) displayed in front of its title.
If you don't want to fully automate the process of loading frames, you can disable "autoload frames?" and "merge frames source?". When NC comes to a frames site, and this setting is enabled, you will simply see the heading for the first frame on the screen. Select "View/Load Frames...", and NC will provide you with an overview of the frames used on the site. To load the frames you want, mark the checkboxes as appropriate, then tap the routing button and select "Load" (for immediate loading), or "Add Bookmarks" (for saving the frames URLs to bookmarks).
When you view your bookmarks, you may see that some URLs are preceded by a small bullet - the bullet indicates that this URL has been loaded and is available in cache memory. If you are viewing a temporary NewtonBook, and select "View/Load images/links", you may also see that some URLs are preceded by a small bullet - the bullet indicates that this URL has been loaded and is available in cache memory. For cache items to appear in "View/Load ..." overviews, the "show items in Overview" option (under "i/General/HTML and Image) would need to be on; otherwise cached items are omitted from those overviews.
Open Names, select the desired card, and tap æAdd/Customæ and write æURLæ in the Custom Field Label, and close the custom field. Then simply enter the address (i.e., http://www....) in the URL field on your card, select the routing button and select "Newtºs Cape:getURL". Another method is to tap "Add/Notes" and enter the URL directly in the note. All other text in the note must be contained in comment brackets, e.g., <!--other text in the note goes here between the brackets-->
Simply highlight the URL contained in the email in the InBox, and tap the routing button. You'll see the two options: Newt's Cape:getURL, and Newt's Cape:Add Bookmarks.
Open Newt's Cape and select "i". In the list of options you will see "Main PrefSet". This PrefSet contains all your current default settings in Newt's Cape. Let's say that your Main PrefSet includes the setting "i/General/Images/autoLoad?/none", which means that Newt's Cape does not automatically load any images when it downloads items from the Internet.
If you wish to create a PrefSet that instructs NC to autoload 5 images, follow these steps:
1. Select "i/General/Images/autoLoad?" and select "5".
2. Now select and tap the routing button in the lower right-hand corner (this is also found under "i/General").
3. Tap the routing button and select "Main PrefSet". Tap the routing button again and select "Duplicate", and the text "Main PrefSet_copy" appears in the input field. Correct the text to read "Autoload 5 images", then tap the routing button and select "Rename". You've just created a new PrefSet called "Autoload 5 images". Feel free to be creative: I have PrefSets I call "Tables on" and "Tables off", and also have additional PrefSets with my favorite screen size, image, frames & appearance settings.
4. Tap the close box to return to NC's floating interface. (Note: Tapping "Reset all..." removes all your custom settings and reverts to NC's original defaults ).
5. To enable a specific PrefSet, simply tap the "i" button and select the desired PrefSet from the list of available PrefSets. NC will thereupon enable the new PrefSet and remove the current book. Note: user names and passwords (and cookies) are stored in the current PrefSet (which could complicate things if you're not careful).
This is a three-step process: 1) download the Newtºs Cape encoding and ISO-8859-1 plugins from Steve Weyerºs web-site, 2) install these two plugins in your Newton and 3) open NC, tap "i/Encoding..." and select ISO-8859-1. If the plugins are unavailable, simply activate "Fix ISO Chars" under "i/General/HTML". ISO plugins are also available for Japanese, Chinese and Russia.
Select "i/General Options/Other Items/Find.Title" and enter "Hemlock" in the input field. Then select "i/General/Other Items/Find.URL" and enter "Hemlock" in the input field. If you'd like to specify the exact search engines which should be used by Hemlock, change "Find.URL" to "Hemlock", followed by a list of search engines names (exactly as they appear in Hemlock), separated by semicolons. For example:
Hemlock;Yahoo!;HotBot or
Hemlock;_all (uses all search engines loaded into Hemlock)
To set a default store for bookmarks, tap "i/General/Bookmarks/Store" and select the desired store.
To set a default store for HTML cache, tap "i/General/HTML/Store" and select the desired store.
To set a default store for Image cache, tap "i/General/Images/Store" and select the desired store.
While viewing the web-page in Newt's Cape, select "View/Load with Images ..." to view all images URLs on a web-page, which can then be promptly loaded or added to bookmarks via the routing button. (Remember to mark the appropriate checkboxes!)
Select "View/Load Links ... " to view all link URLs on a web-page, which can then be loaded or added to bookmarks via the routing button.
Select "View/Load Frames ... " to view all link URLs on a web-page, which can then be loaded or added to bookmarks via the routing button. Note: if the "show items in overviews" option has been selected for "i/General/HTML & Images" cache, all images or links are shown, even those that are already loaded (which are prefixed with a small bullet). If the "show items in overviews" option is off, only unloaded items appear.
Select "i/General/Other Options" and you will see the following options _ which will override _ the general size default used by Newt's Cape:
"Book Page Width" Enter a width in pixels, such as "298" for MP2K screens
"Book Page Height" Enter a height in pixels, such as "388" for MP2K screens
"Book BASE" Enter a reference for the book, such as "http://www.mydoc.html"
"Book ISBN" Enter a unique name such as "mydoc.htm". The Book ISBN _must _ be unique: otherwise, you may overwrite an existing book.
"Book ShortTitle" Enter the title for the book that should appear in the Extras drawer.
"Book Title" Enter the title for the book that should appear at the top of the NewtonBook itself. Once you've created your NewtonBook, it's a good idea to erase the text under "Book ISBN", "Book Short Title" and "Book Title" to minimize the risk of unintentionally having the book accidentally overwritten by the next item loaded into Newt's Cape.
Note: if you plan to distribute your books to others, select "i/General/Page Size/Portrait" to ensure that your books can be read properly on other screen sizes/orientations (and make sure that the fields for book page width and size under "i/General/Other Options" are blank).
The "question mark" icons are image placeholders, i.e., indicate that an image appears in this spot on the web-page. If you'd like to be able to view more of the text on a web-page, select "i/General/Other Options/IMG: no ALT" and enter text such as "(Image)" in the input field. The next time you visit a web-page, the large "question mark" icons will have been replaced by the hyperlinked cursive text "(Image)", which provides a link to the underlying image. However, if the image specifies its own alt attribute, this attribute will be given preference.
Simply select "i/General/Other Options/mailto:body" and enter the text you would like to appear in you email messages.
(Note: if the input field is empty, no message will be generated/placed in your OutBox when you tap a "mailto:" link. )
You probably have NC configured to automatically load several or all of the images associated with web-pages. The item in cache which you are trying to load likely does not include images, and Newt's Cape is attempting to collect the images from the Internet before displaying the cache item. Tap the "x" to dismiss the Connect slip and view the cached items.
The web-page is probably using deeply-nested tables, which are difficult for NC to interpret. Select "i/General/Other Options/Ignore Tables" and enter "yes" in the input field. Now select "File/Remove Current Book", then "File/Open Location" to load the item again. The text should now be easier to read. This is a useful setting to view text-oriented web-pages (such as magazines, newspapers and news services).
Some web items contain a built-in expiration date which causes the items to self-destruct at the designated time (e.g., <http://washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/m-international.html>). Occasionally items are set to expire after only a few minutes, making it difficult, if not impossible, to read them off-line, since they are automatically deleted before you even open HTML cache. To prevent such web-pages from self-destructing, select "i/General/HTML" and "i/General/Images" and check the option "Ignore Expiration".
When Newtºs Cape installs, it registers with NewtWorks in order to have NC appear in the Tools menu. If Newtºs Cape installs first, this registration process doesnºt occur. Freezing, then thawing NC will help it to register properly. Some users store NewtWorks on Internal and NC on Card to ensure that NewtWorks always loads first.
Refer to your Newton manual for information on how to configure your Internet set-up.
When you open Newt's Cape, you will find the following elements on the floating interface (currently unavailable options are contained in (parentheses)):
Tapping this expands/collapses the URL area
Tapping this opens/collapses the area showing status information (log-on, downloading stats, etc.)
This section provides users with a number of options allowing them to customize Newt's Cape.
++ "Number of items" - allows you to set the maximum number of items stored in HTML Cache. If you exceed this number while browsing online, older items will be automatically removed to make room for new items when you quit. (Note: you can lock selected cache items to protect them from unintentional automatic removal ).
++ "Store" Ç allows you to specify whether HTML cache items should be saved to the general default store, to Internal or to Card.
++ "trust cache?" (on/off) if on, Newt's Cape accesses cached entry without asking the server for a more recent version. Recommended setting is on.
++ "Ignore Expiration" Some web items contain a built-in expiration date which causes the items to self-destruct at the designated time. Occasionally items are set to expire after only a few minutes, making it difficult, if not impossible, to read them off-line. By checking "Ignore Expiration" (default is off), Newt's Cape will ignore the expiration date of cache items. Such items have to be manually reloaded or deleted to remove them from cache (or "Ignore Expiration" can be deactivated before quitting Newt's Cape).
++ "empty upon quit?" If activated, all items are automatically discarded from cache when you quit.
++ "show items in overview" When this option is activated, all links are shown, even those that are already loaded (which will be prefixed with a small bullet). If this option is off, only unloaded items appear.
++ "autoload Frames?" When activated, this instructs NC to automatically load all frames as separate cache items.
++ "merge Frame source" When activated, NC will merge frame items together in a single main document, which will be identified by an * in its title. This merge takes place immediately if only a single URL is being loaded; for batch loads, the merge will take place at a later time when you initially select the item from HTML cache.
++ "remove? <!--...-->" removes HTML comments (including JavaScript) from documents in order to reduce cached size and increase processing speed.
++ "desktop?" If on, and the text transferred via serial or ADSP contains a BASE HREF beginning with http:, Newt's Cape adds/replaces the text in the cache.
++ "text/plain" Activating this option enables NC to download items stored on the Internet in text/plain format.
++ "Number of items" allows you to set the maximum number of items stored in Image Cache. If you exceed this number while browsing online, older items will be automatically removed to make room for new items. (Note: you can lock selected cache items to protect them from unintentional automatic removal)
++ "trust cache?" (on/off) if on, Newt's Cape accesses cached entry without asking the server for a more recent version. Recommended setting is on.
++ "Store" Ç allows you to specify whether Image cache items should be saved to the general default store, to Internal or to Card.
++ "Ignore Expiration" Some web items contain a built-in expiration date which causes the items to self-destruct at the designated time. Occasionally items are set to expire after only a few minutes, making it difficult, if not impossible, to read them off-line. By checking "Ignore Expiration" (default is off), Newt's Cape will ignore the expiration date of cache items. Such items have to be manually reloaded or deleted to remove them from cache (or "Ignore Expiration" can be deactivated before quitting Newt's Cape).
++ "empty upon quit?" automatically discards all items (except locked items) from cache when you quit.
++ "show items in overview" When this option is activated, all image links are shown, even those that are already loaded (which will be prefixed with a small bullet). If this option is off, only unloaded items appear.
++ "autoLoad?" select whether Newt's Cape should automatically load none, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15 or all images on a web-page. Trying to load cached items without images will prompt the "Connect" slip to appear for all settings other than "none". To view these items off-line, set autoLoad to "none".
++ "original (unconverted)?" If selected (usually in connection with the option "Process/Cache Only"), the original image will be cached rather than converted immediately into Newton format; the image will be converted each time it is accessed (slower, but useful for temporarily experimenting with different numbers of grays, or threshold level - not intended as a permanent option).
++ "animated?" Activating this option allows you to convert and view animated GIF images with Newt's Cape.
++ "scale to fit?" If enabled (default: off), a graphic/animation that is too large for screen/page/table cell is scaled locally to fit (rather than scrolled); any client (AREA) regions are also scaled down; server map coordinates are scaled up.
This sets the graphic resolution for GIF conversion. (2.x Newtons only)
++ "b&w (threshold)" lowest level of resolution (1-bit resolution) Specify an optional threshold value between 1-254 (default: 128) in field to right; GIF converter "rounds" values above this to black; it rounds values below to white.
++ "4-gray" 4 gray levels (2-bit resolution).
++ "16-gray" 16 gray levels (4-bit resolution). This is the best-looking setting, but also requires the most heap.
Cookies are small bits of information about you which are requested by certain servers.
++ "Skip" skips all cookies. Newt's Cape does not save cookies, nor does it send cookies; this also removes any earlier cookies.
++ "Ask" confirm whether to keep/send cookies for each host.
++ "Keep" keep/send cookies (without asking).
++ "Choose" Select a different bookmarks soup (2.x only). Picker displays "none" and any 3rd party bookmark soups that appear to be compatible with "Bookmarks:Newtscape"; you should be able to access "Bookmarks:Avanti" for Shuffler, and exported soups from pURL.
+++ "none"
+++ "Bookmarks:NewtsCape" uses Newt's Cape built-in bookmarks folders. (This is the default)
++ "Store" Specify where you would like bookmarks to be stored.
++ "Unfiled bookmarks in overview" If activated, unfiled bookmarks will be displayed when the "Bookmarks" button is selected (this is a bit slower than if unfiled bookmarks are not displayed).
Select whether you want NewtonScript embedded in HTML documents to be compiled or not.
++ "none" When set to "none" (the default value), Newt's Cape will ignore any NewtonScript embedded in HTML documents (in order to protect against possible viruses introduced via NewtonScript).
++ "compile" If you create your own pages, download trusted pages or examine the source yourself, you may want to change the setting to "compile" to allow Newt's Cape to evaluate expressions and compile methods while processing those documents in order to provide richer appearance and functionality.
This section provides users with a number of other options which allow for the further customization of Newt's Cape.
++ "Startup URL:" Entering a URL in the box becomes the home/startup page. E.g., entering "http://www.yahoo.com/headlines/news/summary.html" results in this URL being automatically loaded whenever NC is opened, or when you select "Go/Home".
++ "Proxy URL" Think of a proxy as an enormous local cache maintained by your ISP. If you specify a proxy in Newt's Cape, all your http requests go via the proxy. This means that when you want to browse a page, your http request goes first to the proxy and not to the server you specified. The proxy looks in its cache for the page and if it finds it, it will send you this page from its cache. If not, it gets the page on your behalf (hence proxy) sends you the page and keeps a copy of the page in its cache. This can speed up the loading of frequently requested pages, and can be used to bypass corporate firewalls . Your Internet Service Provider can provide you with a proxy server address, which will look something like: " http://proxy.wu-wien.ac.at:8080". 1.x users can set this to obtain web pages via email.
++ "Proxy Only" uses proxy URL (if set) only for list of specific domains (semi-colon delimited like Proxy Exceptions". There is at least one situation where this could be useful: you're inside a company firewall, and need to use a proxy server to get out - Proxy URL can be set for server. If there are, however, some internal sites you'd like to access (w/o using proxy server), set Proxy Exceptions with domains for internal servers. If you know however that there are only a few sites which will have PDFs, Proxy Only can be set to those domains.
++ "Proxy exceptions" Even if you have specified an http proxy, you can still access certain hosts directly. Include any domain exceptions, separated by semicolons, e.g., foo.com; xyz.org. (2.x only)
++ "find.Title" This contains the name of the search engine that will be used by Newt's Cape. The default is Alta Vista. When you highlight a word in Notepad and tap the routing button, you will see the option: "Newt'sCape:Find?". Tapping this option will launch the search engine to begin a web-search of the word or phase you have chosen. The default is Alta Vista text.
++ "find.URL" This contains the default search engine address to search for items highlighted in Notepad. The default is: <http://altavista.digital.com//cgi-bin/query>. It can be changed if you prefer a different search engine.
++ "find.Method" This is search engine's search method. Possible are "GET" and "POST". The default for Alta Vista is "GET".
++ "find.Data" This is the NewtonScript source for an array of alternating data slots and values. The default for Alta Vista text is ["q","","text","yes","pg","q","what","web"].
++ "find:CheckData" compiles and checks the data frame definition. Default is "OK"
++ "AgentPrefix"NC provides a User-Agent header field to the server. This allows you to add a prefix which will sometimes trick a stubborn server into behaving better. Entering "Mozilla/2.0 [en]" tricks certain sites into assuming that Newt's Cape has additional capabilities (such as cookies). The default is empty.
++ "AgentSize&Res." This affects screen size/resolution. Some proxy servers might provide different versions of graphics if they know you've got a small, b&w or gray screen. The default is empty.
++ "HelpISBN" This option allows you specify the NewtonBook that Newt's Cape should load when you tap "i/Help". Enter "NC_Help.htm" to make this the default help book.
++ "AutoLogin" The default value is blank. By entering "yes" in the input field, when you tap "File/Open Location" Newt's Cape initiates a connection to the Internet without first displaying the "Connect" slip.
++ "Don't show Newt's Cape" If this is on, Newt's Cape is kept invisible (used when NC is accessed from other applications). A safer alternative is the "Autohide" option discussed below.
++ "Don't Close Book" If this is on, the current book remains open until the next document is displayed. (Note: this uses more heap.)
++ "Ignore Tables" when activated, this option instructs NC to ignore all "<TABLE>, <TD>" tags etc. , Turn on this option and reload the document for pages which do not display correctly due to over-wide or nested tables (often the case for magazines, newspapers and news services).
++ "Include Frames" Enter a non-empty value such as "on" to instruct NC to include all frames.
++ "Map FRAME to tag" This allows you to specify the style of the frame header. You can enter any of the Appearance tags in the input field Ç e.g., entering the tag "address" in the input field causes the frames headers to appear in italics. The default tag is H1.
++ "IMG: no ALT" The "question mark" icons on web-pages are image placeholders, i.e., indicate that an image appears in this spot on the web-page. If you'd like to be able to view more of the text on a web-page, select this option and enter text such as "(Image)" in the input field. The next time you visit a web-page, the large "question mark" icons will have been replaced by the hyperlinked cursive text "(Image)", which provides a link to the underlying image. If the image specifies its own alt attribute, this attribute will be given preference.
++ "Newt's Cape Button" This lets users configure the Newt's Cape button in the upper right hand corner of the interface. In default mode (input field is empty), tapping the button represents "File/Open Location". Entering "html" into the input field changes the response of tapping the icon to "File/Open HTML Cache". Other possibilities include: open "bookmarks", check Newt "works".
++ "overview not floating" Activate this option if you do not want the NC to float. You might not want overviews (like cache items) to float on top of Newt's Cape if you're using certain 3rd party tools like Button Bar Plus.
++ "Change keyboard keys" The virtual keyboard on the interface has seven common internet abbreviations ("http://, www. etc") These can be changed by entering new abbreviations in the text box, separated by commas. Keys that remain unchanged are marked by a "space". Thus to change "www." to ".org" one would write in the box " , .org,". By deleting the text in the box, one reverts to the default abbreviations.
++ "NewtWorks HTML via Summary" Basically, if NewtWorks runs out of heap, or if you have many documents and scanning is very slow, you could activate this option to speed up the process -- although this might cause NC to overlook certain HTML docs.
++ "mailto:body" Enter the text you would like to appear in you email messages in the input field.
(Note: if you leave the input field is empty, no message will be generated/placed in your OutBox when you tap a "mailto:" link. )
++ "Book Page Width" Enter a width in pixels, such as "298" for MP2K screens
++ "Book Page Height" Enter a height in pixels, such as "388" for MP2K screens
++ "Book BASE" Enter a reference for the book, such as "http://www.mydoc.html"
++ "Book ISBN" Enter a unique name such as "mydoc.htm". The Book ISBN must be unique: otherwise, you may overwrite an existing book.
++ "Book ShortTitle" Enter the title for the book that should appear in the Extras drawer.
++ "Book Title" Enter the title for the book that should appear at the top of the NewtonBook itself. Once you've created your NewtonBook, it's a good idea to erase the text under "Book ISBN", "Book Short Title" and "Book Title" to minimize the risk of unintentionally having the book accidentally overwritten by the next item loaded into Newt's Cape.
After you register, you can check this to prevent the About box from automatically appearing when you start Newt's Cape.
Select a sound from the list to play after a document has been processed. (A handy reminder which lets you know when the requested web-page has been loaded!)
These settings let you choose how much of the MessagePad screen is used to display information.
++ "help": help book format (very small). This is only recommended for carefully designed books with headings and small pages.
++ "portrait": 240x320 portrait size only.
++ "landscape": 320x240 landscape size only (2.x Newtons only)
++ "full" screen: this is portrait or landscape size on smaller MessagePads depending on orientation; on MP2K and eMate300, this could be 480x320 or 320x480
++ "full-4"screen: use this option to shift left margin on "full" screen 4 pixels to the right. (Note: although intended for early, buggy ROMs, this setting may be preferred by some MP2K users.)
These settings determine how NewtonBooks are to be saved.
++ "Standalone book pkg?" If checked, the NewtonBooks that are created can be read without Newt's Cape or Newt's Cape Lite. If not checked (the word "Lite" appears), NewtonBooks will be about 25k smaller, but will require that Newt's Cape be installed to use local links and scripts.
++ "Compressed" If checked, the NewtonBook is stored in a compressed format, saving memory. The package file itself is the same size, but when installed on Newton, it uses only about half the storage space.
Check this box if you want the Newt's Cape interface to automatically disappear into the background after a URL has been loaded. Tap the blinking star at the top of the screen or the Newt's Cape button in the book control bar to again expand the interface.
If a proxy or host requires "basic" authentication, it will prompt for user name and password as needed„after completing, tap Authenticate to reload the page. This information is supplied automatically for subsequent requests to the same proxy or host. However, there may be situations where you want to provide authentication in advance, e.g., you've turned off "trust" on caches and are about to Reload a page or Load with Images and are going through a proxy server that requires authentication or to a host that requires authentication. To prevent multiple password prompts from appearing, you can proactively login in advance„just tap this button, fill in the host (without http://), user name and password. (Note: You can also use the scheduling function in bookmarks to enter your name and password in advance) You can configure NC to keep these user names and passwords. These (and cookies) are stored in the current Prefset (which could complicate things if you're not careful).
+ "NIE Setup" Check this box to open your Internet Setup. (Appears only if Internet Setup package is installed).
+ "Routing button" Refer to the FAQ "Could you explain ...what Preference Sets are?" and the FAQ "How do I ... create my own PrefSets?" for a detailed discussion of this feature.
These options give you formatting control over how web-pages are displayed on your Newton. Feel free to play with these settings - simply tapping the "default" button will restore the original setting for that tag. A bullet appears in front of items where the default value has been changed.
Tags identify headings, text and other formatting elements on a web-page. The tags "H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 and H6" are typically headings, the "P" tag generally determines the format for the bulk of the text appearing on a web-page. Use "View/Document Source" to view the tags used on a particular web-page.
This lets you determine the margins of a web-page display in terms of pixels.
++ "Above" means indent "n" pixels above this object, "'top" means start tag at top of a book page.
++ "Left" means indent "n" pixels to the left of this object.
++ "Below" means indent "n" pixels below this object.
++ "Split" Instructs Newt's Cape what to do when a object does not fit on the remaining page.
+++ " 'true" means to split using the same formatting for the remaining object (i.e., include bulleting and list formats).
+++ " 'nil" means don't split object (start a new page if necessary).
+++ " 'p" means split using the same format for the continuation.
++ "Align" determines text alignment (left, right, center, justify). The default is "left".
++ "System Family" This intended for users of Japanese/Chinese Newtons who do not have a system-level patch to make these default.
++ "Size" the default, 9, is used for labels and buttons. Choose 10 if 9 is too small.
++ "Font"
+++ "Family" determines the font used.
+++ "Size" determines the size of the font.
+++ "Face" you can select the style to be used with the currently selected tag (Plain, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Underline).
This plugin is for European, Japanese, Chinese and other Newt's Cape users who do not use the standard American alphabet. (See FAQ "How do I ... configure Newt's Cape so it correctly maps German/French and Italian characters?" for more details on this feature).
These settings determine how URLs are to be loaded by Newt's Cape.
This scrolls each item when loading a URL.
This scrolls each book page when it's full, then scrolls to next book page.
This displays the first page when it's full: this remains on the screen while the remainder of the document is processed.
This displays first page only after the entire document is processed (fastest setting).
This loads the URL directly into cache (this is the default for URLs loaded directly from Notepad). Cache items can also be viewed when you are off-line.
This loads the URL and converts it immediately into a NewtonBook (requires the NewtPack plugin to be installed).
This loads the URL and immediately saves it as a NewtWorks document.
This resets all Prefs (General and Appearance) to default values (and Newt's Cape closes/reopens).
"Open Location" loads the URL in the input field. It will first search for the text in HTML cache, and then activate NIE if the document is not stored in cache. (Note: as a short-cut for this function, just tap the Newt's Cape button on the upper right of the interface).
"Open Notes" scans Notepad for HTML texts. Available texts (which must have <HTML> and <TITLE>) are listed.
"Open InBox" scans the InBox for HTML texts. Available texts (which must have <HTML> and <TITLE>) are listed.
"Open Paperback" pops up a menu of Paperback "books" that contain HTML source documents.
"Open NewtWorks" scans NewtWorks for HTML texts. Available texts (which must have <HTML> and <TITLE>) are listed.
"Open HTML Cache" opens the folder where web-pages have been stored in HTML format.
"Open Image Cache" opens the folder where web images in GIF and JPEG format have been stored.
"Open NetHopper Cache" scans cache for unconverted HTML and GIF items stored by NetHopper. (Note: HTML items that have already been converted are not visible to Newt's Cape - converted GIFs should be visible. Unconverted HTML would typically only be available if WebXpress had been used).
"Open Desktop ..." Via a cable connection and a terminal program, you can access HTML documents via serial or AppleTalk directly from your desktop computer. (Requires "Sloup" plugin)
"Save as Package" saves the loaded document as a NewtonBook (See "i/General/Pkg (2.x) for information on package options.) (Requires "NewtPack" plugin)
"Save HTML to Notes" copies the document in HTML format into Notepad. This should only be used for "short" documents since Notepad has strict size limits.
"Save HTML to NewtWorks" copies the document in HTML format into NewtWorks.
"Save book to NewtWorks" saves a copy of the currently loaded book as a formatted document to NewtWorks.
"Remove Current Book" temporarily removes the current temporary book from the browser, freeing heap.
"Remove from Cache" deletes the current URL item from cache.
"Reset HTTP". If an error leaves Newt's Cape in a strange state, or a transfer appears hung, or you would like to disconnect from a web-site without quitting Newt's Cape, you can select this command instead of closing/reopening Newt's Cape. Also, to disconnect quickly from the Internet, tap "Reset HTTP", and then select the blinking star at the top of the screen to sever the Internet connection.
"Current Book" displays the working book stored in Newt's Cape for the current URL.
"Reload" this reloads the most recent version from the Internet, and, if the transfer is successful, deletes the previous item (HTML or Image cache).
"Load with Images" shows a list of checkboxes for images (GIFs and JPEGs) associated with the current web-page. Using the checkboxes, you can instruct Newt's Cape to download none, one, some or all of the images.
"Load Links" shows a list of checkboxes for URL links associated with the current web-page. Using the checkboxes, you can instruct Newt's Cape to download none, one, some or all of the links.
"Load Frames" shows a list of checkboxes for frames associated with the current web-page. Using the checkboxes, you can instruct Newt's Cape to download none, one, some or all of the frames.
"Document Source" shows the currently loaded item in HTML format as a book. This is useful in connection with the "Appearance" option, since "Document Source" reveals how a particular document is formatted. (Note: "Save HTML to Notes" (or to NewtWorks) can also provide you with formatting information for a particular document)
"Helpers" shows the currently recognized helper apps used by Newtºs Cape.
This displays history information when you are online and gives you the ability to move backwards and forwards among recently viewed web-pages.
"Back" moves backwards to next URL on list.
"Forward" moves forward to next URL on list.
"Home" loads your start-up URL (if you have specified one).
Tapping "Browse/Schedule... " gives you access to Newt's Cape's bookmarks folders where you can add, delete, schedule and otherwise manage your bookmarks. Checkboxes may be tapped to select/deselect an item; items which have been scheduled for loading at a certain time are prefaced by an alarm icon, while items which are prefaced by a lock icon are protected from being automatically discarded if "maximum cache items" is exceeded (Note: this is relevant to cache items only, and not bookmarks). To select a single URL, simply tap the URL itself or tap "checkbox/routing button/open". To get several URLs at the same time, mark the appropriate checkboxes, and then tap "routing button/Schedule/Frequency" and set the time at which you would like Newt's Cape to get the URLs. Tap the "Schedule" box at the lower left to confirm your settings.
+ Via the routing button the following options are available within the Bookmarks section:
++ "Schedule" The "Schedule" settings allow you to schedule items for automatic retrieval: immediately, hourly, twice-daily, daily, daily (except weekend), weekly, etc. Only one scheduling event can be set for items within a single folder. To set various scheduling events, use different folders. For example, you can create a folder entitled "Weekdays" and place this folders all the URLs you would like to have automatically collected on weekday mornings.
+++ "Start Date" This sets the date and time for first update.
+++ "Frequency" This instructs Newt's Cape how often an item should be updated.
++++ "none" No scheduling or loading occurs. This is the default.
++++ "immediately" This updates selected items immediately without delay. Any future scheduled event remains. This setting is the default. Simply tap the close box if you do not with to schedule any items.
++++ "once" This updates selected items at the specified time only.
++++ "hourly" This updates selected items every 60 minutes.
++++ "twice-daily" This updates selected items every 12 hours.
++++ "daily" This updates selected items once per day.
++++ "daily (except weekend)" This updates selected items once per day, except on Saturday and Sunday.
++++ "weekly" This updates selected items once per week on the same day.
+++ "NIE Setup" can be used to specify the NIE Setup (ISP) to be used for the connection. Due to the erratic nature of communications, you should not assume unattended updates are completely reliable.
+++ "Authenticate"
++++"Name" and "Password" These settings allow you to enter your name and password in advance. URLs that require same name/password should be kept in the same folder.
+++ "Schedule". Tap to confirm the above settings.
+ "Cancel Schedule" This cancels pending items scheduled for automatic retrieval.
+ "Open" This opens the first selected URL.
+ "Process" This allows you to batch save multiple URLs as permanent NewtonBooks or as NewtWorks documents.
++ "Save as Package" saves checked items as permanent NewtonBooks.
++ Save to NewtWorks saves checked items as NewtWorks documents.
+ "Display URL" This displays the first URL in Newt's Cape status area.
+ "Save as Outline" This copies items to a Notepad outline.
+ "Lock" This protects items in cache. Locked items are not removed when Newt's Cape quits, nor will they be automatically discard when the maximum number of cache items is exceeded. Locked items can be deleted by tapping "checkbox/routing button/delete". (Note: this is relevant to cache items only, and not bookmarks)
+"Unlock" This unlocks selected item(s). (Note: this is relevant to cache items only, and not bookmarks)
+"Delete" This deletes selecting item(s), after requesting a confirmation of the delete request.
+The close box. Tapping the close box closes the overview with no action being taken.
"Add Bookmark" adds the URL currently displayed in the input field to the "Unfiled bookmarks" folder (Note: to work properly, "http://" must be part of the URL's name).
"Remove Bookmark" deletes the currently displayed URL from your bookmarks folder.
"Newt's Cape Example Page" automatically loads the URL of the web site for the Newt's Cape Example Page. This web- site provides examples for advanced users.
This is a user defined option which can be configured to load a URL, or directly open HTML cache or bookmarks. Refer to "i/General/Other Options /Newt's Cape Button" for more information on how to configure this option. When NC is loading an item, the Newtºs Cape Button is replaced by an upraised hand icon. Tapping the upraised hand icon breaks off the current item being loaded into Newt's Cape (both web transfers, and processing (e.g., parsing of cached HTML source).
Tapping this button prompts the virtual keyboard to appear. Common Internet abbreviations are located above the keyboard. These can be modified if you prefer other abbreviations. Refer to "i/General/Other Options/Change keyboard keys" for more information on how to configure this option. Tapping the button a second time lets you choose from three other keyboards: Numeric, Phone, Time/Date.
This minimizes the Newt's Cape interface in the background. If you wish to view the Newt's Cape interface again, simply tap the blinking star at the top of the screen.
Tapping this closes Newt's Cape and cleans up cache, but does disconnect your Newton from the Internet. Newt's Cape releases its own NIE connection, and, if no other applications are using NIE (e.g., email), NIE begins its timeout based on the preferences set in your NIE Setup. (You can also have Newt's Cape release NIE faster by selecting "File/Reset HTTP" and tapping the blinking star, or after each page by setting "i/General/Other Options/Reset HTTP preference").
Note: many of these functions require that the HTMList plugin be installed.
To launch the web-browser from Notepad, highlight a URL in Notepad and tap "routing button/ Newt's Cape: getURL". Multiple URLs which are separated by a carriage return can also be highlighted. This can be a real time-saver, since you can get multiple URLs without first having to copy these URLs into bookmarks.
To add to bookmarks URLs which are in a Notepad outline, first make sure that individual URLs are contained in <angle brackets> (e.g. <http://cnn.com>CNN: News Summary). The text following the URL appears as the bookmark title (which you can change at any time). Now select "routing button/Newt's Cape:Add Bookmarks". The URLs listed in the Notepad outline will be automatically added to your Newt's Cape bookmarks.
To copy a URL from Notepad to your bookmarks folder, highlight the URL and tap "routing button/Add Bookmarks".
To launch the search engine from Notepad, highlight a word or phrase and tap the routing button. Select the item "Newt's Cape: Find (Alta Vista)". To change the default search engine, refer to the section "i/General/Other Options/Find URL".
View an HTML text in Notepad by tapping the routing button and selecting "Newt's Cape:Open".
Convert a text in Notepad to HTML text by tapping routing button/Save as HTML.
View an HTML text in NewtWorks by tapping "Tools" and selecting "Newt's Cape:Open".
Convert a document in NewtWorks to HTML text by tapping "Tools/Save as HTML".
To copy a URL from NewtWorks to your bookmarks folder, highlight the URL and tap "Tools/NewtºsCape:Add Bookmarks".
An HTML text in the InOut Box can be viewed by tapping the routing button and selecting "Newt's Cape:Open".
To copy a URL from the Inbox to your bookmarks folder, highlight the URL and tap "routing button/Add Bookmarks".
