QuikNote

Version 2.00r of QuikNote - Minor Update and SIENA Support WHAT'S NEW IN V-2.00R ===================== SIENA SUPPORT! V-2.00R automatically reconfigures the screen display to fit the smaller screen of the Psion Siena. V-2.00R now allows you to embed end-of-line codes in your notes. If you press SHIFT/ENTER, the cursor will move to the next line, but it will not close the note - use ENTER alone to close the note. That way, you can format your note into separate lines of text. On printout, embedded end-of-line codes are changed to a space so as much as possible will print out on one line. For viewing, a preference item in the second preference menu controls whether only the first line is displayed on the screen, or whether the embedded end-of-line codes should be changed to a space. If you export a note with embedded end-of-line codes, they will appear on separate lines in that application as if you had pressed SHIFT/ENTER in that application. Several small bugs have been fixed in this version (such as getting an error when attempting to delete a note that has a lot of wide capital letters - not likely but possible). You can also now run QuikNote off a write-protected drive by manually copying the preference file to an app\quiknote directory on the internal drive and removing it from the app\quiknote directory on the write-protected drive. QuikNote will look on the internal drive if it cannot find the preference file on the load drive. REGISTERED/EXISTING QuikNote USERS - READ THIS CAREFULLY!!!!!
