Rob, I also use a tablet PC, but there are several features that Rev does not support. So far I just make do without. Besides handwriting recognition, a tablet PC usually offers a floating keyboard/writing pad when your pen hovers over a text area. Rev does not support this either in scripts or in editable fields.
The fixed on-screen keyboard works fine, if you like pecking at keys with a pen. Tried using the handwriting recognition to insert characters in fields and the script editor, seems that it inserts a box with chartonum() value of zero after every legitimate character. I have not tried to intercept this. One of my projects is a survey development kit. Although most inputs require only tapping/clicking, it would certainly benefit from accepting handwritten responses. Please post your bugzilla ( http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/ ) number when you have it. I agree that Rev seems unique in not supporting the tablet very well, and that tablets and Rev should have a rich future.
