Writing With the Stylus
Your WorkPad includes Graffiti power writing software as the
primary system for entering text and numbers. Graffiti power writing
software is a system where simple strokes you write with the stylus
are instantly recognized as letters or numbers.
This section explains the basics of the Graffiti alphabet, and how to
make strokes in the Graffiti writing area. Your WorkPad also includes
Giraffe — a game you can use to practice writing Graffiti characters.
See “Installing Games” for instructions on how to install Giraffe.
