Hrm, when the Agenda first came out, that's how the hwr worked. You
write where you want it to go. There were a lot of complaints from palm
users, though, about the machine not being able to tell the difference
between mouse/cursor use and hwr strokes, so the hwr was moved to the
keyboard area like a palm. Let me see if I can find the source code for
the old hwr system. Maybe you want to have a look.
