I use 'more folders' (I think that's the one) to give me sub-folders -
then I make one folder for each class, which makes for much easier
browsing of notes after they're written, without making my folder list
insanely long. I managed with 8 classes last term. (Actually, I don't
know if I'd have been able to manage without my newton last term)
For cross-referencing, I used MoreInfo's link feature.
Once I taught my newton the jargon, I've never had any problem, and have
taken all my class notes since I bought the thing in spring '98. (And
I've been told by several classmates that I should be a newton sales rep,
because I get them all excited about it by showing them what it can do and
raving about how useful it is.)
