Where to Go from Here

ViewFrame

ViewFrame is an essential debugging tool for every Newton developer. It lets you look at any application's frames, including the ability to view and edit them. ViewFrame is composed of three different elements:

The Programmer's Keyboard has all the features of the normal onscreen keyboard (except for word entry into the user dictionary) and can be installed on your Newton. This can make entering NewtonScript a much more pleasant task. The keyboard is available from both the editor and ViewFrame via the keyboard icon. Multiple keyboard layouts are available.

The ViewFrame Editor is a simple text editor in which you can create and execute NewtonScript code. Actually, any Newton code that works in a program will also work here. ViewFrame allows you to view or modify any object on the Newton. ViewFrame is especially useful for displaying debugging information about your program when the Inspector is not available (for example, with serial communications).

Both Mac and Windows disks are available. You can purchase this product from Creative Digital Inc. [293 Corbett Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94144, (415) 621-4252]. A demo version is available.
