I don't have PTC300, but I have PTC550, and many of my friends have PTC300.

How do you write "T" ? This way?

Palmtops checks the writing direction, etc. to recognize complex Kanji
charcters. If I don't use "standard" writing direction, palmtop
incorrectly recognize the character I write.

But .. I remember (I'm not using PTC550 currently) that these palmtop
have small amount of memory to learn special writing direction. So you
can tell palmtop how you write the "T".

I think it is possible to buy HP95LX in Akihabara.

PS. If you have more questions, ask Robert Woodhead (trebor@foretune.co.jp)
who have PTC500/300.
