On top of the screen you see a list of available stores. Here we have two stores: the internal one and a write protected card. As there can be more than one PC-Card slot, for every store you will got an explanation. In our case the card is in slot 0 and is a Flash-Card named "Karte". You select the desired store simply by tapping in the list. Of course the list will be scrollable, if necessary.

Right under the list of stores you see the list of soups on the selected store. Select a soup by tapping its name. This will show you the number of entries, the size of the soup (including the space for indexes), the number of indexes and the space occupied by them and the soup signature.

The Additional Informations contains the frame returned by Soup:GetAllInfo. See chapter "Stores" for an explanation of use.

For an old style soup (pre Newton 2.0) only the "Soup Name" is applicable.

The "Soup Name" is the internal name for the soup and must be unique on the Newton device. The "Soup Name in Extras" is the name shown in the extras folder stores. The "Application Symbol" is used for linking the soup with the application. The rest explains by itself.
