Sorry, I hadn't had time to look at this in detail until now.

Hi Nonny, thanks for the link to the google discussions.

Hi SS, thanks for the links to the instructions & the youtube video. I got
to the point where I can use the IME pad as demo-ed in the video. But I am
hung up on the following still:

1) the video showed that the IME pad had the option of "Hand Writing (CH)"
by CH I guess is meant Chinese. I did manage to find Hand Writing (KO) for
Korean and Hand Writing (JA) for Japanese, but no (CH). How can I
find/install that?

2) the IME pad essentially gives the user the same input methods as the
Tablet PC Input Panel (as outlined in the www.tipsandtricks.net links).
However my central question remains which is that both the IME pad and the
Tablet PC Input Panel, while they work, are unnatural. By that I mean,
writing with the mouse is difficult when you are used to holding a pen. Using
the touchpad is much more natural but the need to hold the left button down
PLUS having to reposition the cursor between strokes make the touchpad even
more unnatural. The ideal would be that I can use the touchpad: a) without
holding the left mouse button down; b) without having to reposition the
cursor between strokes during the writing of a single character; and c) use
one of the two mouse buttons to signal/move the cursor to start writing the
next character.

I read something that sounded very promising here
http://yedda.com/questions/Writing_t...1499138160555/
that pointed me to here http://www.synaptics.com/support/utili.cfm. Alas,
that executible does not seem to want to run in Vista!! The beauty of Vista!!
Sigh.

So if any one of you can move me further towards the ideal as noted above
that would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.
