hopefully the docs will eventually be available more portably (either
Acrobat or HTML).  for non-Mac Newt users, they're getting by with some
docs that I wrote (in PDF or PostScript) format (and soon HTML and Newton
book formats); and I'll be expanding those over next few months to cover
what's in the newer NTK docs.
