It also lets you set up certain default settings the Names. * What's in this archive?--------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two Newton software packages and two text files inthis archive.

'Nuff said. * Speed.pkg software package you'll install on your Newton. * SASReg.pkg software package you'll install on your Newton to enter the password you get when you register Speed. * SAStuff.txt A list of all Stand Alone products.* Installing Speed--------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, you must get the Speed software package onto yourNewton. You can do this using the Newton Connection Utility (for Mac orWindows), the Newton Package Downloader, or the Newton BackupUtility. See the documentaion with each of these for moreinformation on installing packages with them.* Using Speed--------------------------------------------------------------------- Speed is configured using the Prefs application in the Extras Drawer. Once opened, you will be presented with options to configure how Speed presents its Quick Access features, as well as how you'd like the Names file to open (which folder and which view.) The four Quick Access options are: ¥ÊPopup Menu When you tap on the lower half of the Names button a menu will open, presenting the letters A to Z. Tapping a letter open the names file to that letter. ¥ Scribble Window When you tap on the lower half of the Names button a small window will open. In this window you can write several letters of a particular name, and the Names File will open to that name, or, if it's already open will move to that name or letter. If you write a single letter, the Names File will open to the overview. If you write more than one letter, the Names File will go to the "All Info" view for that name. The 'i' button will open the "Prefs", the button next to it will clear the entry line, and the "N" button will create a new name. ¥ÊMini Keyboard When you tap on the lower half of the Names button a small window will open with three rows of letters A to Z. You can tap out the first three letters of a desired name. As with the Scribble Window, a single letter will move to the overview, and multiple letters will move to the "All Info" view. The 'i' button will open the Prefs. ¥ÊLetter Search When you write a letter or letters onto the Names button, the Names file will open to that letter. Writing a single letter will move to the overview, and multiple letters will move to the "All Info" view. Below the Quick Access options are the settings for your preferred Names File settings. If you check the "Open the Names to a particular folder" checkbox, then each time you open the Names File it will be set to the chosen folder. The same applies to the "Open the Names File to a particular View". In addition, if you check the "Switch to this view whenever possible" will switch to the selected view whenever you use one of the Quick Access methods.* Registering Speed--------------------------------------------------------------------- You have a 30 day trial period in which to examine Speed, during which it will function fully.
