when NIE is connected, Newt's Cape avoids "full screen" views since those
appear to tickle some obscure Newton system memory bugs. (you'd think
closing a window would free up resources, but it probably starts to redraw
what's underneath first leading to resource problems).
from changes.htm (introduced in version 2.1a):
2.1: by shrinking sizes of overview and "full" size book,
Newt's Cape should avoid freezes (esp. on eMate and non-upgraded MP2K) when
NIE is open and these views close --
thanks to Sean Luke for reproducing/analyzing the problem and suggesting fixes
(<A

s summary</A>);
there's also a new version of <A
HREF="http://www.cs.umd.edu/~seanl/newton/">Hemlock 2.0b1</A>.
Newt's Cape's overviews (for caches and bookmarks) shrink automatically for
NOS 2.1 systems when NIE is connected;
you should use i:General:Page Size: full-NIE to shrink the book size for
online browsing.
