I tried out Super Notepad and really liked its feature set,  
especially the tagging and filtering functions. I also really, really  
liked the way its designers integrated all of its functions in a very  
'Newton' way.

I was all set to buy a registration, but then started getting an  
error code that I couldn't figure out, and was unable to access my  
notes. Super Notepad does modify the Notes soup to store information  
associated with its added features, so something must have gotten  
corrupted. After a lot of frustration and anxiety, I eventually  
recovered by freezing Super Notepad (supposedly a no-no), and  
restarting my Newton.  It was long enough ago that I'm not entirely  
clear of the details (sorry).  Scared me off, though.

I've settled comfortably into HyperNewt as a way to get more  
organization out of my Notes.  A bit more 'old-school' in its design  
(the file folder tree paradigm), it lets me organize things the way I  
like, including storing links to (e.g.) Works spreadsheets in Notes.   
I do need several additional add-ons to Notes to emulate some of the  
other functions available in Super Notepad (TimeStamp comes to  
mind).  HyperNewt does not modify the Notes soup, but creates  
additional storage to keep its information.  I've come to appreciate  
that.

It would be nice to hear from folks who have used Super Notepad  
without any problem.

HTH...
