draw the heavy dot; it is there only as a guideline.)
• The Graffiti 2 writing strokes for letters closely resemble letters of
the standard English alphabet, both upper case and lower case.
Graffiti 2 includes symbols made with a single stroke and symbols
made with multiple strokes.
For multi-stroke characters, a temporary character is displayed after
the first stroke, to show that the stroke was recognized. For
example, after the first vertical stroke of “t”, a temporary “l” is
shown. There is a limited time window, during which the second
stroke must be drawn. Otherwise the temporary stroke is recorded.
• The text input area is divided into two parts, one for writing
lowercase letters and one for writing numbers. The small marks at
the top and bottom of the text input area define the division line. To
have your pda phone recognize letters and numbers, you must begin
letter strokes on the left side, and number strokes on the right side
of the text input area. Uppercase letters are formed by writing
across the division line.
To write Graffiti 2 letters:
1. Tap the screen where you want to write text, for example, on a line
next to a time in the Date Book.
NOTE: A blinking cursor must appear onscreen above the Graffiti 2
writing area before you can begin writing text.
2. Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke shape for the
letter you want to write. For example, the stroke shown below creates
the letter n.
