Hello,
Today I got my Apple Newton MessagePad 2000 and then I want to start developing for it. I already downloaded and installed the Newton Toolkit, but where I can learn NewtonScript?

Thanks.

Greetings, visitor from the past! Welcome to the 21st century. All restaurants are Taco Bell. Smoking is illegal. The Newton has been replaced by the iPhone. Happily, we have frozen a specimen of the documentation you seek, which you can read by activating this magical portal--it's something like Gopher. Fare well, and watch out for Skylab debris!

+1 Because I liked the history and the "magical portal". **:D**

Wow.... a blast from the past.

Julie McKeehan and Neil Rhodes wrote several excellent Newton programming books. If you can locate any copies of Programming for the Newton, do so. Make sure to get the second edition, which covered the 2.0 version of NewtonOS.

And hang out at www.newtontalk.net.
