Unfortunately, I don't think it will work since there is no driver on the
Newton to recognize it.

I know that there is one handheld scanner that will connect to the Newton
through infrared because SmartDog Sofware <http://www.smartdogsw.com/> did
release a communication driver for it, part of its BackTalk software. I
don't remember which one it was, however. You would have to check BackTalk
to see which scanner it supports. I think the name is "CapShare".

Great Runes n.: Uppercase-only text or display messages. Some archaic

There is a widespread legend (repeated by earlier versions of this entry,
though tagged as folklore) that the uppercase-only support of various old
character codes and I/O equipment was chosen by a religious person in a
position of power at the Teletype Company because supporting both upper and
lower cases was too expensive and supporting lower case only would have mad=

it impossible to spell `God' correctly. Not true; the upper-case
interpretation of teleprinter codes was well established by 1870, long
before Teletype was even founded.=20
