Abstract
The invention relates to a stylus-based user interface for computers. It describes a process for separating a stylus-based application program from the procedures used to implement stylus-based, user driven error correction processes. This separation allows error correction procedures to be used by many applications, providing consistency in the user interface and saving application development costs through reuse of these procedures.
