Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only minutes of
practice. Graffiti 2 writing includes any character you can type on a standard
keyboard. The Graffiti 2 characters closely resemble the letters of the regular
alphabet, which makes Graffiti 2 writing easy to learn. Graffiti 2 writing is different
from the writing software found on earlier Palm handhelds. For example, some
characters are formed using a single stroke while others are formed with more than
one stroke.
