You're using a PC? What speed? What processor? You probably know that if
it's a recent model you might have to slow it down?
Next, you don't really need to export your notes to Works in order to get
them on the desktop. And if you have problems with the connection between
your MP2K and NCU, you won't be able to export Works documents either. So,
you have to work on your connection problem. If you really want to export
your notes to Works, there is an extension by Dan Rowley called Twerx that
just do what you want <http://www.newts.com/newton/twerx.html>.

COBOL, Apple's Hypertalk language, and a lot of the so-called `4GL' database languages share this property. The usual intent of such designs is that they be as English-like as possible, on the theory that they will then be easier for unskilled people to program. This intention comes to grief on the reality that syntax isn't what makes programming hard; it's the mental effort and organization required to specify an algorithm precisely that costs. Thus the invariable result is that `candygrammar' languages are just as difficult to program in as terser ones, and far more painful for the experienced hacker.
