I haven't seen the Table PC close up, so I can't comment on how exactly it works. However, on the iPaq, which runs a Windows OS, you turn on the handwriting area and it stays on at the bottom of the screen.

>Here's how I surmise the procedure from what I read:

>1) Start a VFP app. on my tablet PC. It presents an entry screen (my VFP app) with some text boxes.
>
>2) "pen" on the first text box where I want to enter data to put the cursor there.
>
>3) "pen" the gizmo that says I want to use handwriting to enter the data.
>
>4) Wait for some entry area to be presented, then 'pen' my data on to it.
>
>5) "pen" the gizmo that says that I have finished penning my entry. Wait for the thing to 'convert' my penned stuff and then display the original screen, now showing my handritten info converted to real text in the entry box I originally selected.
>
>6) Assuming the conversion to have been correct, REPEAT steps 2 - 5 for each remaining textbox that I want to handwrite into.

>That sounds like it would be 'fun' for all of 3 entries, then it would be a real hassle.

>Do you know how it really works? If so, tell us.

>>Why would you see that? I recently got an iPaq and use the handwriting recognition for all my entry. It works just fine.

>>>Well if that's how it turns out to work I can only see drudgery in such a procedure.
