To write letters of the alphabet with Graffiti:
1. Tap on the screen to set the insertion point where you want
your text to go. In this case, the insertion point is already set
on a new line in the Memo Pad application.
2. Use the table on the following page to find the stroke shape for
the alphabet character you want to create. For example, the
stroke shown below creates the letter “n.”
Start stroke
at heavy dot

As you’ll see later, you use these shapes to create both upper
and lower case letters.
3. Position the stylus inside the Graffiti writing area. For
alphabet characters, be sure to use the left-side of the writing
area.
4. Based on the table, start your stroke at the heavy dot in the
character shape, and draw the stroke shape as it appears in
the table.
Note:
Don’t try to draw the dot shape itself. The heavy dot is
there to show the starting point of the stroke.
5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
