G L O S S A R Y

Notepad	The built-in application for taking and organizing notes,
	which may contain text and drawings.
notification slip	A view that appears on the screen to warn the user or to
	report an error. A notification slip may or may not be
	accompanied by an alert sound.
output	Information transferred from a Newton to some
	external destination, such as a printer or a modem.
	Compare to input.
palette	A small view that provides controls for modifying the
	contents of other views. The user can move a palette,
	and it floats on top of other views of the same applica-
	tion, so it can remain open for use in all visible views.
parent view	A view that contains one or more other views.
persona	The permanent internal description of an individual
	person that works with a particular Newton PDA, or a
	particular public image of a single owner. The owner is
	the obvious example, but there can be many others.
	Choosing a persona sets up information such as name,
	title, birthday, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses.
picker	A list of choices that appears when the user taps an
	adjacent text label marked by a solid diamond (◆). A
	picker may also appear when a user taps a button. The
	user chooses one of the listed items by tapping it.
picture button	A control that the user taps to designate or confirm an
	action implied by the icon displayed on the button.
picture radio button
	A standard Newton control that displays its state, either
	on or off, and is part of a group in which the user can
	turn on only one button at a time. A picture on the
	on-off indicator identifies the kind of setting.
pixel	Short for picture element; the smallest dot the Newton
	can draw on the screen. On a Newton MessagePad,
	there are 80 pixels to an inch. Each pixel can be either
	black or white, so it can be represented by a bit; thus,
	the display is said to be a bitmap.
