No, we had a pretty strong opinion on the Newton team that files were not the right thing. Also, we thought of Newton as a stand-alone computer, not a Mac accessory. (Then we learned from the Palm that we kinda missed that one.) We did a synchronization app for Mac data, but you had to write an adapter to convert your data back and forth to soups. There were never any “files” on the Newton.
