ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Gesture Practice ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You can use the Gesture Practice program to learn how to draw gestures
correctly so the system can recognize them properly. A gesture is a hand-drawn
symbol which, when recognized by the system, invokes a command. There are
different categories of gestures available in Pen for OS/2:

o Selection gestures such as tap and double-tap
o Editing gestures such as the letter X, which deletes a character or all
  selected characters.
o Frequently used gestures, which include gestures for displaying a pop-up
  menu, the Window List, or help.

For more information about gestures, refer to the Pen for OS/2 User's Guide.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Practicing Drawing Gestures ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Gesture Practice to practice drawing gestures that Pen for OS/2 can
recognize.  The window is divided into four areas:

Gesture Set Window
          Displays the Pen for OS/2 gestures.  Tap on the gesture you want to
          practice.  A drawing of the selected gesture is displayed in the
          Animation window.  For information on the system default assignments
          for each gesture, see the Pen for OS/2 User's Guide.
Animation Window
          Displays an animated drawing of a gesture selected from the Gesture
          Set window.
Draw Here Window
          Allows you to practice a gesture by drawing it yourself. Do not draw
          arrows.  They are shown to indicate direction only.
Results Window
          Displays the system's interpretation of the gesture drawn in the Draw
          Here window.  If the system does not recognize the gesture drawn as a
          valid gesture, three question marks are displayed in the Results
          window.

For a detailed explanation of each push button, double-tap on the following:

o Last
o Previous
o Clear


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Last ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you tap on Last, the most recently drawn gesture is displayed in the Draw
Here window.  The drawn gesture is is also displayed in the Results window.

The gesture is replayed continuously until you tap on the Draw here or Results
window.

You can continue viewing your previously drawn gestures by tapping on Previous.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Previous ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you tap on Previous, the most recently drawn gesture is displayed in the
Draw Here window.  The drawn gesture is is also displayed in the Results
window.

The gesture is replayed continuously until you tap on the Draw here or Results
window.

Gesture Practice stores your last ten drawn gestures.  If you continue to tap
on Previous, your previously drawn gestures are displayed in sequence, last to
first.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Clear ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you tap on Clear, all other Gesture Practice windows are cleared (Animation,
Draw Here, and Results).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Handwriting Pad ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Handwriting Pad enables you to print on a pad as you would on paper.  When
you are done printing, the system translates your handwriting into recognized
characters and sends the characters to the selected program (for example, the
System Editor).

To display the Handwriting Pad, tap where you want the text inserted, or select
the text you want to replace. Draw the H+Tap gesture on the window where you
want to enter text. Or, tap on the Handwriting Pad push button on the Pen Tool
Bar.

If you prefer a lined pad or pad with no lines, you can change the appearance
of the pad using the Customization object.

Related Information:

o Writing text
o Editing text
o Customizing the Handwriting Pad


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Writing in a Handwriting Pad ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Handwriting Pad contains separate boxes for each character (uppercase and
lowercase) you want to print.

 1. Print one character within each of the boxes. When you stop printing, the
    system recognizes the characters and translates them into printed
    characters.
 2. To send the text to the active window, tap on Send.  If you need to make
    any corrections, do so before you tap on Send.  (Double-tap on Editing
    Gestures for information about how to use editing gestures in the pad.)

    To send the text and then hide the pad from view, tap on the minimize
    symbol on the Send push button.  To redisplay the pad, draw the H+Tap
    gesture.

Notes:

o If you inadvertently close the window before sending the text, the Send push
  button is disabled (appears dimmed).  You cannot send the text until you
  activate the window again. To do so, tap on the window, and then tap on the
  Handwriting Pad.
o If an asterisk is displayed when you draw a character, it means that the
  system was unable to recognize the character you drew.  If three question
  marks are displayed, the system was unable to recognize the gesture you drew.

For a detailed explanation of each field, double-tap on one of the following:

o Send
o Cancel
o Clear


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Editing Gestures ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You can use several editing gestures in the Handwriting Pad. Draw gestures in
the Handwriting Pad beginning within the box and ending outside the box, with
the exception of the Scratch-Out gesture.

Insert Space      Add one or more spaces.

   o When using this gesture, start it in the box.
   o With one pen stroke, draw a line down, exiting the bottom of the box, and
     then to the right at the location where you want a space.  Cross as many
     box boundaries as you want spaces.

Pigtail           Delete a character.

   o With one pen stroke, draw a pigtail upward from bottom to top.  Start the
     gesture in the box that contains the character you want to delete.  Finish
     the gesture by extending it beyond the top of the box.
   o The box first touched determines which character is deleted.
   o Begin the line within the box and extend it beyond the top of the box,
     ending with a loop.
   o Do not draw this gesture through several characters.

Scratch Out       Delete one or more characters.

   o With one pen stroke, draw three horizontal lines back and forth on the
     character or characters you want to delete.
   o Make sure you draw the gesture directly over the words you want to delete.
   o The lines of the gesture need to be on top of each other.
   o When drawing the Scratch-Out gesture, start the gesture inside a box, and
     then cross at least one of the vertical sides of the box boundaries to
     delete a character. If the gesture covers at least half of a box, the
     character in that box is deleted.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Send ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use the Send push button to enter information.

o If you tap on Send, the pad is cleared and the text is sent to the window
  that was active before you tapped on the Handwriting Pad push button or drew
  the H+Tap gesture.
o If you tap on the minimize symbol on the Send push button, the above action
  occurs.  In addition, the pad is hidden from your view.  Draw the H+Tap
  gesture to redisplay the pad.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Clear ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Clear if you want to erase all the characters in the pad. To correct
unrecognized or mistranslated letters, write over the letter or use the
Scratch-out, Pigtail, or Insert Space gesture.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Cancel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use the Cancel push button to remove the Handwriting Pad without entering text.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Handwriting Preview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This window indicates the characters the system has recognized from your
writing. If the characters are correct, tap on Send to send the characters to
the OS/2 or DOS window.  If, however, any characters are incorrect, make your
changes prior to tapping on Send.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Pop-Up Keyboard ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use the Pop-Up Keyboard as an alternative to writing text with your pen. The
Pop-Up Keyboard is visually similar to a standard keyboard layout.  When you
tap on a key, the window where the gesture was drawn receives the character.

You can display the Pop-Up Keyboard by drawing the K+Tap gesture on the window
where you want to enter information. Or, make the program in which you want to
enter information the active window (for example, by tapping on it), and then
tap on the Pop-Up Keyboard push button on the Pen Tool Bar.

Related information:

o Pen Tool Bar push buttons


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Pen Tool Bar Buttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

From left to right, or top to bottom, each of the default Pen Tool Bar buttons
has a specific function:

Handwriting Pad
          Use this button to start the Handwriting Pad program. You can write
          alphanumeric characters and symbols, and have them entered in the
          window that was active before you pressed this button.
Pop-Up Keyboard
          Use this button to start the Pop-Up Keyboard program. When you tap on
          a key, the active window receives the character.
Gesture Assignments
          Use this button to display the gesture assignments for the current
          program.  For example, if you are working in a program and want to
          know what gestures are available to you, you can tap on this button
          to display or customize the program's available gestures.
Special Keys
          Use this button to display an additional row of buttons that
          represent different keys.  (The second row of keys is available until
          you tap on the button again.) If you do not have a keyboard, you can
          use the special keys buttons to perform key actions (for example, you
          can press Alt and tap on an object's name to edit it).

          From left to right these keys are:  Backspace, Tab, Enter, Shift,
          Ctrl, and Alt.

          When you tap on Shift, Ctrl, or Alt, the button remains pressed for
          one operation.  The button stays in and the small square on the
          button turns gray. This works the same as if you press the Shift key
          while you click or drag with the mouse for one operation.

          If you touch and pause on the button (wait for the beep to sound) the
          button stays pressed (permanently active) until you tap on the button
          again. When the button is in this state, the entire button background
          turns dark gray. This works the same as if you press and continue to
          hold the Shift key while you click or drag with the mouse for more
          than one operation.

          Note:   Any of the buttons on the tool bar with the small square box
                  (for example, the Gesture Mode buttons) work in the same
                  manner.


Gesture Mode
          Use this push button to make gestures in programs where pause time is
          disabled (for example, an unaware drawing program).

          Tap on this push button to draw one gesture only.  Touch and pause on
          this push button (wait for a beep to sound), then you can draw as
          many gestures as you want.

          If you touch and pause on the push button, the button stays pressed
          until you tap the push button again.  When the button is in this
          state, the entire push button background turns dark grey.
Mouse Button 2 Mode
          Select this push button when you want to use a pen to do those
          actions you would usually do with mouse button 2 pressed, such as
          moving objects.

          Tap on this push button to do one action in mouse button 2 mode.
          Touch and pause on this push button (wait for a beep to sound), then
          you can do as many actions as you want in mouse button 2 mode.

          If you touch and pause on the push button, the button stays pressed
          until you tap the push button again.  When the button is in this
          state, the entire push button background turns dark grey.

The Timeout page allows you to customize the time intervals associated with
drawing gestures.

o When drawing a gesture or writing a character, the system needs a way to
  determine that you are done.  When you remove your pen from the proximity
  zone, it is assumed that your writing is complete.  If you finish writing,
  but do not lift your pen out of the zone, the system waits for a set amount
  of time before it begins to recognize the gesture or characters. To adjust
  the time the system waits before attempting to recognize a gesture, move the
  top slider arm.

  To test the new setting, draw the Delete gesture. After drawing the gesture,
  lift the pen from the screen, but stay within the proximity zone.  Note how
  long it takes to recognize the gesture.

o While drawing a gesture, you might decide you do not want to finish it.  If
  this happens, stop drawing, but do not lift the pen off the screen.  After a
  set amount of time that your pen has remained motionless, the gesture is
  cancelled. To adjust the time the system waits before cancelling a gesture,
  move the bottom slider arm.

  To test the setting, draw a gesture and pause before finishing the gesture.

For a detailed explanation of each field, double-tap on one of the following:

o Writing completion time
o Draw this gesture
o Gesture cancel time
o Draw a gesture and pause
o Undo
o Default


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Writing Completion Time ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Move this slider arm to adjust the amount of time that the system waits to
determine you are done drawing a gesture or writing a character.

If you complete writing, but do not lift your pen out of the proximity zone,
Pen for OS/2 will wait for a set amount of time (Writing completion time) for
you to continue drawing.  If you do not continue, Pen for OS/2 assumes you are
done and begins to recognize the gesture or characters.

Try the new setting by drawing the Delete gesture.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Draw This Gesture ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Try the new setting by drawing the Delete gesture in the test area.  After
drawing the gesture, lift the pen from the screen, but stay within the

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Gesture Cancel Time ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Move this slider arm to adjust the maximum amount of time that your pen can
remain motionless while in contact with the screen before the system cancels a
gesture.

When drawing a gesture, you might decide you do not want to finish it.  If this
happens, stop drawing, but do not lift the pen off the screen.  Pen for OS/2
waits for a set amount of time (the Gesture cancel time), and if your pen
remains motionless, the system cancels the gesture.

Try the new setting by drawing a gesture and pausing in the test area.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Draw a Gesture and Pause ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

characters in the Parameters field. For example, to send the characters DIR to
an OS/2 window, type the following in the Parameters field:

   DIR


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Sending Nonprintable Characters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you want to send nonprintable characters to the active window, type the
characters in the Parameters field using the syntax shown.

[ESC]
[F1]
[F2]
[F3]
[F4]
[F5]
[F6]
[F7]
[F8]
[F9]

[HOME2]
[PAGEDOWN2]
[UP2]
[RIGHT2]
[DOWN2]
[LEFT2]
[END2]
[DELETE2]
[INSERT2]
[PRNTSCRN]

All nonprintable keys begin with a left bracket ([) and end with a right
bracket (]). The text between can be mixed case. You cannot have leading spaces
between the left bracket and the nonprintable character (for example, [ TAB]).

If you type invalid characters between the brackets, the characters and the
brackets are considered part of a character string.  They are sent to the
active window as printable characters.  If you want to use a nonprintable key
as an ASCII text string, you must put a double bracket on the left side of the
string.  For example, if you want to send the text string [ENTER] to the active
window, type [[ENTER] in the Parameters field.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Sending Multiple Keystroke Sequences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The SEND KEYSTROKES command also enables you to perform multiple keystroke
sequences using augment keys:  Shift, Ctrl, Alt, and Altgraf.

       [SHIFT]
       [CTRL]
       [ALT]
       [ALTGRAF]
Type them in the Parameters field as follows:

 [augment-key[nonprintable-key]]
  For example: [CTRL[ESC]] = Ctrl+Esc

 [augment-key printable-key]
  For example: [SHIFT abc] = ABC

 [augment-key[nonprintable-key]printable-key]
  For example: [SHIFT[ESC]a] = Shift+Esc,A

You cannot have more than one space between the augment key and the printable
key. If more than one space exists, the additional spaces are sent as printable
characters to the active window.

The SEND KEYSTROKES command supports only one augment key at one time;
therefore, you cannot enter the following:

  [CTRL[ALT[DELETE]]]

Spaces are not allowed between the nonprintable key statements.

The SEND KEYSTROKES command enables you to set one of the following toggle
keys:  Caps Lock or Num Lock, before sending other keystrokes.

       [CAPS]
       [NUMLOCK]

Type them in the Parameters field as follows:


 [toggle-key[nonprintable-key]]
  For example: [NUMLOCK[HOME]] = 7

 [toggle-key printable-key]
  For example: [CAPS abc] = ABC

Note:   The SEND KEYSTROKES command will reset the toggle key at the completion
        of the command.  You cannot use this command to set the keyboard state
        to Caps Lock or Num Lock; therefore, you cannot enter the following:

           [CAPS]  or [NUMLOCK]

Note:   You cannot have more than one space between the augment key and the
        printable key. If more than one space exists, the additional spaces are
        sent as printable characters to the active window.

Spaces are not allowed between the nonprintable key statements.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Sending Numeric Keypad Characters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

To send the characters on the numeric keypad, type the characters in the

To send the characters 0 through 9 and the decimal point, use the syntax for
toggle keys.  For example,

         [NUMLOCK[INSERT]] = 0
         [NUMLOCK[END]] = 1
         [NUMLOCK[END][DOWN][PAGEDOWN]] = 123


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Sending Mouse Button Clicks ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The SEND KEYSTROKES command also can emulate mouse button click actions. To get
the effect of clicking a mouse button (1, 2, or 3) at the location where the
gesture is drawn, type the following:

     [BUTTON1] = click mouse button 1
     [BUTTON2] = click mouse button 2
     [BUTTON3] = click mouse button 3

For example, to select an object and then open it to its default view, type the
following:

[BUTTON1][ENTER]

Note:   Each button action must have its own set of brackets.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Sending Augmented Mouse Button Clicks ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You also can modify mouse button click actions using an augment key.  Type the
following:

[augment-key[BUTTONX]]
  For example: [SHIFT[BUTTON1]] = Shift+click button 1

 X = 1, 2, or 3

Note:   Do not insert spaces between the brackets and BUTTONX.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Delaying Keystrokes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The SEND KEYSTROKES command sends mouse button clicks and keystrokes to a
program considerably faster than a person can send them using a mouse or a
keyboard.  Programs that run in an OS/2 window session will not receive the
keystrokes following a mouse button click operation unless there is a delay in
the command between sending the mouse button click and the keystrokes that
follow.  This situation also can occur when keystrokes that cause the program
to open and close windows are sent to a program. It might be necessary to
insert a delay between the keystroke that causes the window to open and the
keystroke that is intended for the opened window.

To add a delay, add the DELAY parameter with an amount of time indicated in the
parameter string:

           [DELAY X]

   where X is 1 to 50

   1 will delay for 1/10 of a second
  50 will delay for 5 seconds

As an example, you could assign the Circle gesture to the following string, and
then use this gesture to view mail in a mailbox program.

[BUTTON1][DELAY 2][F11]

This string performs a click of mouse button 1 (at the location where the
gesture is drawn), delays the system for 2/10 of a second, and then sends the
command associated with the F11 keystroke.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Combining Keystrokes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You can combine any of the previously described keystrokes using the SEND
KEYSTROKES command. For example, if you want to assign the Circle gesture to
add the text PENOS2 to the name of the object where the gesture is drawn, type
the following in the Parameters field:

[ALT[BUTTON1]]PENOS2]SPACE[

o Customizing Program-Specific Gesture Assignments
o Overriding system settings


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Customizing Program Gesture Assignments ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use the Gesture page of a program object to customize the gesture assignments
for this program object. The gestures are displayed in a list. Scroll the list
of gestures to view the entire list.  To change a gesture assignment:

 1. Tap on a gesture in the Gesture list.
 2. Tap on Edit to change the command assigned to the gesture.

If the Gesture page appears with an "Undetermined" session type and no gesture
in the Gesture list, the information in the Path and file name field on the
Program page is not filled in.  After you add the path information, the Gesture
page is available.

Pen for OS/2 does not support using gestures in full-screen sessions.  OS/2 and
WIN-OS/2 program objects with full-screen session types include a Gesture page;
however, the Gesture list is empty. To update the Gesture list, change to a
window session type using the Session page. DOS program objects with
full-screen session types have gestures in the list because these programs can
be run in a DOS window session.  When this occurs, gestures are supported.

If the push buttons on the Gesture page appear dimmed and there are no gestures
in the Gesture list, verify that the Gestures assignments enabled check box on
the Overrides page is checked.  When it is checked, the Gesture page is
available.

For a detailed explanation of each field, double-tap on one of the following:

The Session type field indicates the name of the current session (PM, OS/2
window, WIN-OS/2 window, and DOS window). This field is for information only.
You cannot change this field.

This information is helpful because it indicates which sessionwide gesture
assignments are inherited if you do not customize a gesture assignment in the
program object.

If the Gesture page appears with an "Undetermined" session type and no gesture
in the Gesture list, the information in the Path and file name field on the
Program page is not filled in.  After you add the path information, the Gesture
page is available.

Pen for OS/2 does not support using gestures in full-screen sessions.  OS/2 and
WIN-OS/2 program objects with full-screen session types include a Gesture page;
however, the Gesture list is empty. To update the Gesture list, change to a
window session type using the Session page. DOS program objects with
full-screen session types have gestures in the list because these programs can
be run in a DOS window session.  When this occurs, gestures are supported.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Gesture ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Gesture field lists the current gestures and their descriptions. (Depending
on your program, there might be predefined gesture assignments listed in
addition to the default assignments.)

The gray text color indicates that the gesture assignment is a sessionwide

o Default

Note:   If the Overrides page appears grayed out (unavailable), the information
        in the Path and file name on the Program page of the notebook is
        incorrect. Or, the session selected in the Session page is not
        supported by Pen for OS/2. After you supply the information or correct
        the session type, the Overrides page is available.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Pen Time Enabled ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Pause time enabled overrides are:

Using the pen
          A check mark in this check box indicates that the system will use the
          Pause time before select setting from the Pen object. If you override
          this setting, you will not be able to draw gestures with a pen in
          this program.

Using your finger
          A check mark in this check box indicates that the system will use the
          Pause time before select setting from the Touch object. If you
          override this setting, you will not be able to draw gestures with
          your finger in this program.

Using the mouse
          A check mark in this check box indicates that the system will use the
          Pause time before select setting from the Mouse object. If you
          override this setting, you will not be able to draw gestures with a
          mouse in this program.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Restrict Writing To ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This field is used to select gesture mode or text mode for the program.  By
default, neither mode is preselected, which means the system determines the
most appropriate writing mode within the program. If you want to restrict your
writing to either mode, select the appropriate check box. If both Gesture and
Text modes are checked, the program is in mixed mode.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Gesture Assignments Enabled ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A check mark in this check box indicates that the current gesture assignments
for this program object are used. If you remove the check mark, the system will
not issue the gesture assignment for the particular gesture.  This override has
the same effect as reassigning every gesture for this program to the command NO
ASSIGNMENT.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Hide Pointer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This setting is disabled by default.  A check mark in this check box indicates
that the desktop pointer is removed from view when you lift your pen off the
screen.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Overrides - Page 2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Adjust these drawing settings to override the system defaults.

For a detailed explanation of each override, double-tap on one of the
following:

o High frequency points
o Drawing complexity


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> High Frequency Points ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A check mark in this check box indicates that the active program receives the
amount of drawing points resulting from pen movements that are indicated in the
Drawing complexity setting. This setting improves the drawing quality in many
drawing programs; however, it can slow the response time.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Drawing Complexity ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If High frequency points is enabled, this slider arm allows you to adjust the
amount of drawing points the program receives as a result of pen movements.
This setting allows you to improve the drawing quality in many drawing
programs; however, it can slow the response time. The minimum value is 40
points-per-second.  The maximum value is 200 points-per-second.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Writing with a Mouse ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you want to use a mouse rather than a pen to write with, you must enable a
setting in the Mouse object. Otherwise, the mouse movements will leave ink on
the screen instead of performing the anticipated mouse operation. Once the
setting is enabled, you can draw characters and gestures by pressing mouse
button 1, moving the mouse to draw the character or gesture, and then releasing
the mouse button.

To enable the mouse for writing, place a check mark in the Pause time enabled
check box.

o To adjust the amount of time that the mouse pointer must remain motionless
  with mouse button 1 pressed before the system switches to mouse mode, move
  the slider arm.
o To test the new setting, pause momentarily on the text in the test area. Wait
  for a beep, and then select the text.

For a detailed explanation of each field, double-tap on one of the following:

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Telepen ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Using Telepen, you and another person using a network, modem, or serial cable
connection can communicate with handwritten notes and graphics. Both parties
can view what is written in the Telepen window. Either person can annotate the
content, insert text, and draw graphics that both can see. You can capture a
partial screen of the desktop or one of your programs.

Telepen includes a menu bar that allows you to create, copy, and send images.
It also has a set of drawing tools in a tool bar, and a drawing attributes bar,
which includes a color and line-width selection.

o Using the attributes bar
o Setting up communications
o Connecting to another Telepen user
o Creating Telepen images


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Setting Up Communications ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You can use Telepen to communicate over the network, via a serial cable
connecting two computers, or over phone lines with a modem. (Modem
communication has a slower response time.)

Telepen (version 1.1) can communicate with a computer running the same version
of Telepen or Telepen/DOS, but cannot communicate to a computer running a
previous version of Telepen (version 1.0), unless network (NETBIOS)
communication is selected.

If you and another user are communicating between computers via a serial cable
connection, both parties must set their systems to use the same baud rate.
(Baud rate is a number representing the speed at which information travels over
a communication line.) For modem communication, Telepen supports connections
between two Hayes-compatible modems.  Both modems should use the same, highest
possible connection speed to communicate.  Use the Local information choice in
the Connections menu to indicate your system setup.

Before you can communicate with other users, you must set up their connection
information in your dialing directory.  Tap on the Directory button, or tap on
the Directory choice in the Connections menu to customize this information.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Direct (Null Modem) Communications ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

COM port
          Select the port (COM1, COM2, or COM3) that indicates where your
          serial cable is attached to your computer.

Baud rate
          Select the number that represents the speed at which the information
          should travel to another computer.  The receiving computer must be
          set to use the same baud rate. (The higher the number, the faster
          communication occurs.)


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Modem Communications ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

COM port
          Select the port (COM1, COM2, or COM3) that indicates where your modem
          is attached to your computer.

Baud rate
          Select the number that represents the speed at which information
          travels over a communication line.  The receiving computer must be
          set to use the same baud rate.  (The higher the number, the faster
          communication occurs.)

Speaker on
          When this field is checked, the modem speaker is turned on prior to
          placing a call.

Pulse dialing
          If this field is checked, the modem will dial with pulses instead of
          tones.

Serial speed follows modem
          This field is applicable with an external modem only.  If this field
          is checked, the modem transmits information at the same serial speed
          it receives information from the phone line. Otherwise,  it sends the
          information at the default serial speed.

Hardware handshake
          If this check box is checked, hardware handshaking is used. This
          means that data is transmitted using Request-to-Send/Clear-to-Send
          (RTS/CTS) modem quering, which ensures the receiving modem can
          receive the data.

Initialization string
          Use this field to add commands to the command string your modem uses
          during startup.  For example, if L3 is in this field, L3 is appended
          to the end of the default startup command.  For information regarding
          modem commands, refer to the documentation that came with your modem.

Phone prefix
          Use this field to include any digits that should be dialed before
          dialing the actual phone number.  For example, to connect to an
          outside phone number within a business, you might need to dial a 9
          prior to dialing the number.  Adding the prefix here, alleviates
          having to place a 9 in every dialing directory entry.

Set default
          Select this push button to return to the settings to those that were
          active when you installed the system.
