5Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the 
stroke shape.
When you lift the stylus from the screen, your CLIÉ 
handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the 
letter at the insertion point on the screen.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin 
the stroke for the next character you want to write.
Note
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If 
you do not make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your 
CLIÉ handheld does not recognize them as text characters.
Notes on writing Graffiti characters
 Recognition accuracy improves when you write large 
characters. You should draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti 
writing area.
 Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate  recognition errors.
 Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to  the sides of the Graffiti writing area.
