NewtApp

Guide to Creating a Minimal NewtApp

Now that we have detailed the elements in a newtApp--the application layer, the layout layer, the entry layer, and the slot layer and the various templates and protos that make them up--it is time to actually create a NewtApp. In this section, we will show you the basic steps that you will always take whenever creating a NewtApp.

1. Create a project, making sure to set the Platform to "Newton 2.0" in the Project Settings dialog (see FIGURE 10.6). If you forget to do this, none of the NewtApp protos will be available in the proto menu.
