Have you ever added people to your Newton Names list using Newton Connection on the Macintosh? Or have you managed to transfer your contacts from your company database into your Newton Connection Software?
And then you wanted to call or fax somone and Newton didn't recognize the name correctly? So you had to add it to your word list (i.e. user dictionary) manually?!?!
Never again! ..... Introducing AutoDict 1.1 for Newton.
AutoDict ≥automagically≤ scans your Names åsoupπ for new entries and adds the corresponding names (Company, First, Last, ä) to your word list.
So the next time after you download new addresses from your Mac just go to the Extras drawer, tap AutoDict and tap the ≥Add Names to Dictionary≤ button. And Newton will automatically recognize all the new names the next time you scribble them somewhere.
By the way, AutoDict is going to be even more useful as soon as Newton Connection Pro becomes available and you want to download all your 500 contacts into Newton - assuming you have an additonal storage card ;-)
You will need either Newton Connection, Newton Connection Pro, or the Newton Developer Toolkit to download the AutoDict 1.1 package to your Newton.

[*] Rebooter.sit
Here's my first little Newton utility. I realize its in bad form to post
binaries, but heck its small. It's called "Reboot!" and its only function
is to allow you to reboot the Newton from the extras drawer. It puts up
a simple dialog and beeps to warn that it will reboot the machine. If you
close it, it won't, and if you hit the reboot button it will do the deed.

[*] Newton Boy.sit
My name is Joel Bussey and I am a student at the University of Oklahoma. I work for a company named MicroSynergy in Oklahoma City and I wrote this little package as my first venture with the Newton Toolkit. It doesn't do much but play a couple of sounds. I call it "Newton Boy's Demo" because a friend of mine saw me with the Newton on the first day of classes at the University of Oklahoma and called me "Newton Boy" and that nickname has stuck with me ever since. I include one sound from the "Hamburgler" (from McDonalds--it's kinda' a joke with the MIS students at OU). He'll say "Robble Robble" for you!

[*] MacsHex.sit
MacsHex is a four-function, 32-bit hex calculator.
MacsHex is a little simpler than Howard Oakley's SciCalc and hopefully a little easier for the beginning Newton programmer to follow. The only thing the least bit tricky about it is compensating for the Newton's lack of 32-bit integers (30 bits only). All calculations are performed on real numbers and coerced modulo 2**32 to the correct range.
If you don't like the key placement, or would like to add memory or shift operations...have at it!

[*] HotButtons.sit
Hot Buttons 0.9 Copyright 1993 Cesar Maiorino Shareware: $5.00
This application is a floating palette of user - programmable buttons to lets you, with a single pen tap, access almost all Newton built-in applications as well as any user-installed applications. This let's you bypass the Extras Drawer and Preferences/Formulas Lists and should save you many pen taps.
