Using The Stylus To Write Text - 3Com PalmPilot Professional Handbook

Using the Stylus to Write Text

Your PalmPilot includes Graffiti handwriting software as the
primary system for entering text and numbers. Graffiti is a system
where simple strokes you write with the stylus are instantly
recognized as letters or numbers.
This section explains the basics of Graffiti, and how to make
strokes in the Graffiti writing area of your PalmPilot. More
information about Graffiti, including its convenient ShortCuts
feature, appears in Chapter 8: Additional Features.
