Is this a list of things to do with IrDA support on the newton or just the
infrared? If it's the former, then 1 and 4 don't count because they don't
use IrDA, and I can add another item: data transfer using Sloup 2.2 and
EETransfer. If it's the latter, then I can add EETransfer and, if I can get
this Sharp CE-IR2 PC ASK interface going, NewtDump :)

Victor, the guy who posts all of the confusing info :)
