The NewtApp framework has three entry view protos:
newtEntryView
,
newtRollEntryView
, and
newtFalseEntryView
. The

framework.
The entry view also contains the user interface components that perform operations
on one entry at a time. These components include the header bars, which are used
as divider bars to separate multiple entries displayed simultaneously. This behavior
happens in the Notes application. An example of the Notes application with multiple
entries and header bars is shown in Figure 4-4.
