| I created a test spreadsheet in NewtWorks, filed it in my personal folder,

Correct. There are local and global folders. Local folders only exist
within a particular program, like Works or Extras. Global folders exist in
all programs. In addition, different programs, like Works and Notepad,
cannot directly share data. So even if you have a global folder called
"Private", sheets/forms/documents/whatever for one program will not be
available to other programs.
| That makes sense, since Notepad isn't going to know what to do with it
| anyway. Then I went back into NewtWorks and the spreadsheet was there,
| but I never did a File--Open to open it, it was just *there*. I must be
| using an incorrect model for the way the data is being stored.
No. There are some special folders. One is "Unfiled <appname>" which
holds everything that has not been specifically filed somewhere else.
Another is "All <appname>" which displays all documents, icons, programs,
whatever, available within the app.
| I'd like a list view in the Extras drawer, instead of the icon view, which
| would take up less real estate too. Am I dreaming?
Tap the overview button.
| Is there any way to make the icon bar tiny--get rid of the icons, leave the
| text, etc.? I thought there was something for this, but I can't find it now.
There are several. You should be able to find something useful on UNNA.
