Yep, that's it! I actually tried that before, but not very
persistently. You have to start dragging pretty fast after the tap or
you get the broad selection line instead. Thanks to Jon, now I can turn
on the Newton and see my agenda immediately. And I put the Notes icon
in the button bar so that I still have rapid access to it. Thanks
again...Steve

Yes, exactly. Is there some way to do that? Thanx...Steve
You open the extras drawer, select NOTES (by holding the stylus on it
till it darkens - not a tap) and then open the action window (the little
envelope bottom right next to the X) where you will find "Make
backdrop.." The trick is that whichever programme is the active backdrop
disappears from the extras drawer. I just tried this from Dates, my
normal backdrop, to Dates, and back.
What he wanted was a way to get items off the bar at the bottom, so he
could
turn them into backdrop apps. That's also simple.
Simply open the Extras drawer then tap and hold on the icon in the
button
bar. Next drag the icon to the Extras drawer, and it's off the bar and
in
the drawer. Now that you've removed it from the button bar, you can put
something else there by dragging it in the same manner from the Extras
drawer to where you want it on the button bar. It's really that simple.
