Andrew,
Planet Newton (www.planetnewton.com) hosts all the Newton developer
software, and there I found some sample code that may give you something
to build upon, even though it's from 1995:
http://download.planetnewton.com/download/programming/cardfile_sit.hqx
Quoting from the Readme:
"This sample shows several ways to extend the built in Names application
(Cardfile).
It shows two types of data that can be added via the "Add" menu, one
which allows
only a single datum (social security number) and one which allows many
items
to be added (cars.) It adds a new layout which will appear in the Show
menu
(showing the contents of the 'sorton slot.) And finally it adds a whole
new
class of cards, available through the "New" menu, with editors and
viewers
and a new 'bizcard view."
