Using the Dates Soups 19
The Dates application stores meeting and event information and notes in the
following soups:
The slot structures of meeting frames and note frames are described in “Meeting
Frames” (page 16-57) and “Notes Frames” (page 16-62) in Newton Programmer’s
Reference. A list of these frames is available in the Summary; see “Dates Soups”
(page 19-52).
Although the format of the various Dates soups is documented in this section, you
should not directly change entries. It is best to use the methods supplied by the
Dates application to get and set entries.
To Do List 19
This section describes the To Do List API. The To Do List application is integrated
into the Dates application; it is accessed through the Dates Show button. The To Do
List is shown in Figure 19-3.
About the To Do List Application 19
The To Do List API allows you to create To Do List items programmatically, check
them off, obtain them according to date and other criteria, and remove them by date
and other criteria.
