Chapter 05: Using Your Sahara Slate PC with Windows Vista 
These input tools allow you to enter information directly into any
application that accepts standard keyboard inputs.
NOTE FOR i440D USERS: By default, when in Active Digitizer mode,
hovering your pen over the edge of the Input Panel will cause it to
slide out a bit making it easier to invoke.
Writing Pad
This pad allows you to enter text on a word-by-word basis. You
write on the lines inside the writing pad just as you would write
on a lined piece of notepaper. When you reach the end of the
line, the pad will expand automatically so you can keep on
writing without having to stop. Windows will convert your
handwriting into text, on the fly, and then insert it in the
appropriate location when you tap “Insert”.
Character Pad
This pad accepts input on a character-by-character basis and is
useful for entering information that requires a higher level of
precision, such as passwords, website URLs or e-mail addresses.
