Palm Handhelds m500 - Manual (Page 41)

Chapter 2 Page 31
That’s all there is to it! When you lift the stylus from the screen, your
handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter at
the insertion point on the screen.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke
for the next character you want to write.
Important: You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti
writing area. If you do not make Graffiti strokes in the
Graffiti writing area, your handheld does not recognize
them as text characters.
Graffiti tips
When using Graffiti writing, keep these tips in mind:
■ Accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should
draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
■ To delete characters, simply set the insertion point to the right of
the character you want to delete and make the backspace stroke
(a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area.
■ Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate
recognition errors.
■ Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the
sides of the Graffiti writing area.
■ Press firmly.
