That would be the standard way it works right?  In this case I hit the 
dot between the arrows, but it gives me a overview of the notes, not the 
extras drawer.  And this is with the extras drawer open and as the top 
most item.

I remember Paperback.  Probably used it a few times.  Was an easier way 
to get text documents to the Newton.  Thanks for reminding me about that.
