[NTLK] hypernewt

[Bob Carls Dudney]

Main reason I use HyperNewt is ease of editing and navigating to many 
levels of subdirectories, plus the title popup menu that lists titles 
in the current directory, one on each line (displaying twice as many 
per screen as Notepad overview). Hyperlinks and the additional scroll 
arrows are also handy. I have overview set to list notes by date, so 
viewing list that way or by title is just one tap.

MoreFolders provides similar subfolder functionality, but as I recall 
it's a lot more fiddly to change folder names after items are filed 
in them, whereas HyperNewt acts like Finder and automatically keeps 
items in same (sub)directory structure after changing a directory 
name. And HyperNewt supports many more directories -- unlimited? 
(MoreFolders is maxed at around 120 total in Names (counting both top 
level and subfolders).)

I also got my bacon saved by HyperNewt: my Notes soup got corrupted 
and I've not been able to repair it nor open it otherwise, not even 
with SBM Utilities. But I can still navigate to all the HyperNewt 
subdirectories and edit their notes, except the directory that was 
open when corruption happened.

not noticeable on my 2100; I presume the list of titles in a 
directory takes some seconds to appear because I have thousands of 
notes -- that's only sluggishness I've seen.

It might make a slight difference to freeze HyperNewt during 
maximally demanding task like LunaSuite browser. (I had to freeze 
pretty much everything for dear Luna way back when Newt was my only 
computer.)

Not in any of those apps (MoreInfo linking is different).

SuperNotepad has similar scroll buttons.

Some similarity with MoreFolders noted above.

Happy Newtoning!
