Yes, you can write code to overwrite pretty much anything. For example if
you want to disable the Extras button so that nothing happens when you tap
on it, you just execute the code
GetRoot().extrasbutton.buttonClickScript := func() begin
end;
The original contents of the buttonClickScript slot, being in ROM do not go
away, of course. To get back to a functioning button, you use the
RemoveSlot() function.
Believe it or not, you own the whole Newton that you bought!

Subject: [NTLK] A couple of programming questions
I've got a couple of NewtonScript programming questions. I'm
trying to create some stationary for Notes that is note-like -- that is,
it sizes itself according to the amount of text in it. I can't figure
this out. All the examples I've seen have been fixed size stationary.
Also, it's not possible to write code that overrides slots on existing
views that you don't own, is it? I'd like to be able to add custom
gesture handlers to the existing Notes stationary.
