Super NotePad is a collection of enhancements to the built in NotePad application on your Newton. They are:

Navigation bar -- At the top of the NotePad is a bar with several buttons. The buttons, from left to right are:

• First Note (up arrow iwith a bar) -- Tapping this takes you to the first note in the folder
• Last Note (down arrow iwith a bar) -- Tapping this takes you to the last note in the folder
• Styles (Palette Icon) -- Tapping this opens the styles palette
• Current Folder Notes -- Opens a pull-down menu of the notes in the current folder
• Title -- Opens a pull-down menu of all notes with titles.
• Recent -- Opens a pull-down menu with recent notes.
• Previous Note (solid up arrow) -- Tapping this takes you to the previous note.
• Scroll up (hollow up arrow) -- Tapping this scrolls the screen up by half a screen.
• Scroll down (hollow down arrow) -- Tapping this scrolls the screen down by half a screen.
• Next Note (solid down arrow) -- Tapping this takes you to the next note.

To hide or show the navigation bar, tap the small triangle icon in the upper left corner of the screen.

Tags button -- On each note, to the left of the filing button, a new button has been added, to allow you to tag notes. Tags are additional identifiers, and a note can have any number of tags. Tags can be thought of as similar to folders, except that where an item can only be filed in one folder at a time, it can be tagged with multiple tags. To tag an item, tap the tags button and check or uncheck those tags you want to use. To edit tags, tap the "Edit Tags" item. This will bring up a list of all your current tags.:

Other Options are available throughthe routing menu:

Encrypting Notes -- Notes can be encrypted with a low level encryption scheme to make them harder for unwanted people to access.

Protektion -- You can password protect any NotePad folder (except for All Notes and Unfiled Notes). When you try to switch to a password protected folder, Super NotePad will first ask for the password. If you enter the correct password, Super NotePad will let you into the new folder, if not, you can't get in. You can password protect a folder by tapping on the folder tab at the top of the screen and tap "Protekt".

Move Note -- Move a note to a different date.

Custom Filters -- You can set up custom filters, so that you can view multiple folders and tags at once, or exclude tags. To set up a custom folder, tap the folder tab, and tap "Custom Filters". A window will open with a picker at the top listing all of your custom filters:

IF the note type is a Checklist, the following additional items will be added to the routing menu:

Remove Checked -- Remove all checked items.

Sort by Alpha -- Sort items alphbetically.

Sort by checked -- Sort unchecked items first, then checked items.
