Yeah, but the text files are actually binary files (their own description
describes all my clippings as "formatted text," even when they come from a
plain text editor like BBEdit). I have a bunch of clippings I'd like to dump
into my Newton, as a text dump to notes or Works. They don't show up in NCU
as text files available for importing; instead, I have to drag these things
individually to a WP or text editor that supports Drag and Drop clippings,
then import that text file into the Newt. Not the end of the world, but an
extra step, nonetheless.
