What it should do
Adapt more modern, more portable keyboards to the Newton Platform.
What is the point of such an app

gone. Now very nice keyboards are on the market for other handheld computers.
This app and hardware hack would let you use these keyboards on your Newton.
How to do it
(1) Make an adapter to plug the keyboard in. (2) Write a driver to use it

Stowaway
keyboard - In the old days Pilot users lusted after Newton keyboards. Now
it's the other way around. Newton users would
love newer
keyboard technology. When folded up, the full size Stowaway keyboard is
a tad smaller than the MP2x00's screen cover, and
is as thick as the Newton.
Twiddler
keyboard - A chord keyboard that lets you "type" with one
hand, based on button combinations (reviewed).
A
Mini-keyboard - could we strap a mini keyboard to the front of the Newton....
is it worth it - or is this what Newton users are given in Hell?
