Re: [NTLK] How to rename packages?

The short answer is that you cannot rename a package. ........
but in the case of Newton Books you can, but it isn't as easy as
changing the name of a file on a Mac.

You can use Newt's Cape to save a book of 500 or so pages or less as
HTML to newton works, change its Title and isbn, if you like. reopen
in Newt's Cape and save as a package with the new name. The
advantage of this approach is that the table of contents remains intact.

Or you can open the package in MS Word, edit as necessary then remake
the book in Newton Press with a new title. The advantage of this
approach is that you can manage books of almost any size.

I would create additional folders in the extras drawer and file by
category. Or use Newt's Cape to create a book that has descriptions
and hot links to the books in your library ( possible but harder than
creating folders).
