Subject: HelpURL 1.0 (add URLs to about box)
HelpURL 1.0 (24 Nov 96):
shows how to add active URLs to an about box
and create a dynamic help book from HTML.
includes NTK (NewtonScript) source.
This works best with Newt's Cape 1.3 (or greater) installed on NOS 2.0
(though it will also work on 1.x).
You can also create an active about box with URLs and dynamic help
for an application in the Newt Development Environment (Newt 3.3)
(see the NewtATut 1.4 tutorial).
HelpURL is freeware. You are free to make modifications for
your own use. I would appreciate your references to the Newt's Cape URL:

Newton HI Toolkit
Enclosed is my Newton Human Interface Toolkit. It is a set of templates for
designing Newton interfaces. It probably belongs in newton/dev.
The contents have been virus-checked with Disinfectant 3.2. The enclosed file
is a Compact Pro self-extracting archive that has been BinHexed. The following
text is in the readme file:
-----------------------
Newton Human Interface Toolkit
by Trygve Isaacson
v1.0
10/28/93
Nothing fancy--this is just a couple of MacPaint documents containing a bunch
of the Newton human interface elements in what I believe to be accurate
dimensions. There is no real trick to creating this stuff, but it is pretty
tedious, so I hope this will make it easier for you to sketch out your Newton
ideas.
If you have any corrections, suggestions, or additions you would like to see,
please send them to me at:

This package may be freely distributed, but please make sure to include the
Read Me file with it.

NewtATut (Newt Application Tutorial) is a Newton book version based on an
article "Building Native Newton Applications with Newt" that appeared in PDA
(formerly PIE) Developers, Vol. 2.4, July 1994; pp.14-18. This interactive
tutorial will show how you can develop a simple application in NewtonScript
and save a package directly on your Newton using Newt. 1.x compatible.
Keywords: tutorial, Newt, object-oriented programming, application development
environment, NewtonScript, NTK.
Changes in 1.6 (16 Feb 98)
- minor content, URL updates
NewtATut -- the book -- is freeware. "Newt" -- the native programming
environment for developing applications using NewtonScript -- is shareware.
Newt is not required to use this book, nor must it be registered to try
NewtATut. If you have Newt installed on your Newton, you can build and test
the application incrementally as you read. (You should be able to find Newt
on the same server/service where you found this book, under a Newton
application or development directory, with a name similar to newt34.sit/.zip
or newt-devenv-34.sit.hqx). This version of NewtATut works with Newt
version 3.3
(and greater). See also NewtTurT -- interactive turtle tutorial.

--========================_19927144==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Ruler is a freeware utility I've written that lets Newton developers
measure and align views, bitmaps, and other on-screen items. Tapping on
the Newton's screen lets the user drag one of two crosshairs around. A
small floating palette displays the position of each crosshair and the
distance between them. Non-programmers will probably not find it of much
use.
The file was compressed with StuffIt.
