Re: [NTLK] removing Reset Bomb

It's impossible to delete Extras: it is a built in app.

If you cant find the icon for it (it would be on the button bar), then it
must be the backdrop. What do you see after your Newton starts up after a
reset? (tiny button on the back) If you see several rows of icons th:n you
are looking at the Extras drawer, and you can drag the bomb icon into
there.

By the way, Steve's directions are slighty wrong: you need to hold the
stylus over the bomb until you hear the squeek -- about 1.5 sec -- then
release, THEN drag it from button bar into the Extras drawer.

HTH (Hope This Helps). Good luck.

I've looked all over and can't find "Extras" anywhere on my 2100. Could
it have been deleted somehow by the PO? If so, how can I get it back?
