26. How to make a quick Note                     
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Newton OS 2.0 gives you a method for quickly putting some information on
the NotePad.

Here's the sample code:

10 notes:=getroot().paperroll
20 u.notes:makeTextNote("This is my new note",true)

The text, "This is my new note", is now on the notepad.

Of course, you can still roll your own notes, much as you did in Newton OS 
1.x. Note that some of the fields and the layout have changed since 1.x,
and that the examples in the manual up to the Dec'95 edition are for 1.x
systems.

For full details on the Notes Soup Format, see Chapter 18 of the Newton
Programmers Guide, available on Apple's web site.
