Believe me I will. Probably on the wiki, possibly also on my personal
website. I've been contemplating setting up a few newton pages on my
site but haven't thought of anything to post that isn't covered
elsewhere.

Nah, that's too much work. I'd just leave them as RTF files then :-)

Well, none of the RTF images are oversized for the Newton screen,
because they were all created on a Newton...

The RTF files I'm trying to convert to newtonbooks are exported notes
with a mixture of text, ink text, shapes, and sketches. Also, I don't
think that just appending stuff linearly down the page would work so
well, because all four things are well shuffled together and placement
is important.

   That's the problem with world domination. Nobody is willing to wait for 
   it anymore, work slowly towards it, drink more and enjoy the ride more.
