- ********************************************************************
- If you’re familiar with your Newton™ device and any account manager,
- you’ll probably find that you can use Accountable Ltd. without further
- ado. But there are a few features and some cautions that are not obvious.
-
- *****Accountable Ltd. is, guess what, limited
- This freeware, demonstration version is limited to five accounts. Each
- of those accounts are limited to twenty transactions.
- If you decide to move up to Accountable, the data you create in Ltd.
- can be used in it.
-
- *****Install Accountable in the normal way
- Just follow the directions in the User’s Guide for your Newton™
- Connection Kit. Accountable needs about 170 KB of space so
- for MessagePad and ExpertPad owners, a storage card is required.
-
- *****The overview button always goes to home base
- The list of accounts is Accountable’s home base. No matter where you
- are in the application, a tap of the overview button returns there.
-
- *****Double-tap an account to see the transaction register
-
- *****Drag the elevators for fast scrolling
-
- *****Accountable responds to many words and phrases via Assist
- Accountable only adds the verb ‘Pay’ to the Assist menu, but it will also
- respond to: Charge, Deposit, Withdraw, Fly, and variations.
- Try running a phrase like “Charge $30 to Visa at Acme for shirt” through
- Assist, substituting your own credit account reference.
-
- ***** Each account can have its own icon
- Tap the default icon while creating an account to see a menu of icons.
-
- *****Accountable’s password security is easy to defeat
- It is only intended to protect against inadvertent access. A determined
- snoop with the right tool and a little technical knowledge can easily
- get around it.
-
- *****Accountable ignores ‘Store new items on card’
- Accountable always stores its data in the same soup so that transactions
- aren’t inadvertently lost.
-
- *****Use ‘Remove Soups’
- If you intend to stop using Accountable and remove it, run Remove
- Soups in the Routing menu. Besides removing the soups, it also cleans
- up some directories in your Newton™ unit.
