I, too, have thought that a version of Zip for the Newton would be nice. It
does bring up a question, though...

How to design the user interface? Should handwriting be recognized and
interpreted; should a virtual keyboard always be present across the bottom of
the screen; or should 'action menus' that contain frequently-used commands and
pop up on request be available for piecing together input strings? Any ideas?

I heard there is a version of Dungeon for the Newton but I haven't tried it.
How does it handle user input? Anyone out there tried it?
