Hello Halvor,

The feature that enables someone to post a note to their Newton remotely
(Admin post) is actually a built in feature! All I did was enable it and
create a link to it on my Newton's web site.

If you would like to use it, do this:
Open nHTPPd, tap on the "I" button, select "prefs" and go to the "Security"
tab. Create a password (please don't use the default) for Admin and check
the box next to "Active" under Remote Admin.

Now, in a web browser, type in your Newton's web site address and port
number (i.e 123.123.123.123:80) then type in /html/admin-post.html

You should see this on your Newton now!
