integrated agenda display.

different cover sheets as you like, and they will all be available in the
cover sheet selection of the fax slip.

flowing river. Move fast or your road pizza!

orders directly on your Newton. You create a custom list of all your
products, and choose a customer's purchases from a popup list. All of a
customer's information can be recorded right on the form, along with
credit card or check information. Product lists can be beamed from one
Newton to another. Order Form can handle taxed and non-taxed items, with

freezing functionality built into Newton 2.0. It does the following:
- Turns on package freezing
- Grays frozen icons (turns them gray, rather than making them snowflakes.)

than first tapping to thaw it, then tapping again to launch it.
- Fixes a bug in the OS, where frozen packages are refiled into their
original (pre-frozen) folder upon thawing.
Free.
Stand Alone, Inc.'s Trash Utilities: Allows you to control the animation that
happens when you delete an item. Some people have grown tired of the
crumple-toss effect that normally occurs, so this allows you to eliminate that.

stationery. These are: Blank Note, Graph Paper, Location Note, Phone
Message, Prioritized Note, Shopping List, and Time Card. You can install
these as individual packages, allowing you to only use the ones you need.

it) an unlimited amount of information associated with each item.
Shareware, $20.
Wake Up Week: Wake Up Week is, at heart, a replacement for the built in overview
in the calendar application. However, it can be configured to appear in other
places besides just the calendar, and is much more powerful than the built in
overview. Basically, when you open Wake Up Week you are presented with a list
of all upcoming Meetings, Day Notes, and To Do's over a particular period.
Initially this is one week (just like the overview in the calendar) but it is
easy to change this to view either a longer or shorter period of time. You can
also file to dos and date items in your folders, and view only a particular
folder's contents.
Shareware, $30

to scroll. If there are more items after the items shown, tapping on the down
arrow will show the next screenful, and tapping the up arrow will show the
previous screen. The most common use for this is the card app in the extras
drawer. Now, if there are more than 23 packages installed on your newton, you
can get to all of them to delete those you no longer want.
Shareware, $10
Score Pad: lets you keep score in two player games.
Free
Speed: Speed is a collection of improvements to the built in names file. The

all such clippings. Selecting one will paste it after the current insertion
point.
