- words from an Internet server via NewtonMail (eWorld) or AmericaOnline
- (using HardyMacia's Aloha package). Once words are retrieved, they can be
- stored internally in the WordADay database (soup), or added to the
- recognition dictionary of the Newton. Each word comes complete with a
- definition and occassionally a quote/comment from the A.Word.A.Day
- internet server. Words can be printed, faxed, mailed, or even beamed to
- another Newton running WordADay. WordADay supports scrolling using the
