Hi Carlo and Pat.
I downloaded Carlo's suggestion before I received your email Pat so I 
have been playing with Notes Plus and have sent a sample of my efforts 
by email, directly from the app, to the son who gave me stylus. He rated 
my writing as barely Year 4!!
I will also explore the suggestions you made Pat as I think my two 
youngest grandchildren (and maybe the not so young ones), could get a 
lot of enjoyment from these apps.
Thank you both for your great suggestions.
Merv
