That is not a problem. The Newton have to know which century you're refering
to. AddressAccess had this same problem if you use the calendar picker for
birthdays / anniversary. You may set 1959 in the picker, close it and reopen
and it'll default to 2059. Thorsten Lange have addressed this issue for the
upcoming AA Pro and a bug fix for the regular AA.

Yes it IS a problem. A problem in the 2.0 OS !

I did use a 4 year date ( 19XX ). ( Did you not read my detailed description
of the problem ? )

You're saying I need to buy and use AA or AA Pro to fix the problem.

I would like to see a patch for the 2.0 OS to fix the problem without
loading another entire application.

Is there a Newton Programmer out there willing to write a separate patch ?
