 PackagePopup

Package Popup places a small button in the status bar of the NotePad

which, when tapped, pops up

a list of all installed packages. This is usually much faster than opening the extras drawer. In addition, if you have any frozen packages denoted by a

in the menu), you can tap on it to thaw it, launch it and

automatically re-freeze it after you close. At the top or bottom of the menu (depending on your preference) are three special items that let you rotate the Newton screen, restart the Newton, or put it to sleep. Alternatively, you can eliminate these from the menu altogether..
 

Here is a sample menu:

 If you make use of the folder system in the Extras drawer, you can check off only certain folders to show in the menu, thereby shortening the list and getting you to your desired packages that much quicker::

 If you elect to show only certain folders, you can easily popup the full menu by tapping and holding on the button for a moment.
 You can also elect to remove all frozen packages from the popup menu altogether.
 In addition, you can add the package button to the Names file, as well as the lower half of the extras button.
 Finally, you can tap and hold on the button until it squeaks twice and turns white, and you'll perform a garbage collection.
