Could you give some more info about the newton engine? And also about
the newton, as I know little. Like, how do you get the data onto it,
how much data can it hold, how long can it run on a set of batteries,
how much info can you see on the screen, can you scroll back to see past
moves, etc? Also, if someone wanted to tweak the code, how tricky would
that be? Would you need to buy a development package for the newton?

But don't you still have to write most verbs? How about something that
keeps track of all the words that have been used previously. That way,
you would only have to write out each verb once (and the obvious ones
could be given already, like 'north,' 'south,' etc.).
