[NTLK] Best way to get pictures into an eMate?

[Alan Fleming]

Thanks for that idea, Grant - it partially works. I definitely get a pkg in which I can display a PICT I’d created on the mac - unfortunately I can’t do anything else with it from there. It doesn’t look as if it supports cut&paste or any other way get it into a Newton Works document.

Now having a look at ClarisWorks to see if I can do it on the Mac, move it over, then duplicate from there.
