Programming for the Newton using Macintosh, 2nd ed.

Routing

"Beam me up, Scotty!"

--Captain James T. Kirk

Sending something somewhere is one of the things the Newton does best. This sending--or routing as it is called on the Newton--can be done by faxing, printing, beaming, or mailing an item. Plus, this list of ways to send things is not carved in stone; additional methods may be available in the future. Using Newton terminology, routing is now extensible.

To begin our discussion, let's get a bird's-eye view of routing and its user interface elements. Then, we will turn to a detailed look at the implementation. Along with these capabilities, we'll also cover how to add routing items to the Action button.

This chapter provides an introduction to routing using NewtApp (see Chapter 10, NewtApp). For complete coverage of routing, see Newton Programmer's Guide.
