Helper App: Notes Installer

Currently, Newt's Cape directly handles the following http MIME content-types: text/html, image/gif, application/x-newton-compatible-pkg and text/plain (.txt). In order to extend or override these, you can install helper apps.

The helper app defined in this document registers with Newt's Cape to handle the text/plain content-type, just for .txt file extensions. Once you install it, Newt's Cape dispatches any .txt files to this app, which in turn adds the text to the Notes app.

Implementation details: advapi.htm.

Other examples: helppkgi.htm, helpslpi.htm
