Abstract
The present invention relates to a wireless interface device and more particularly to a wireless interface device for interfacing with a host computer in a stand-alone configuration or either a wired or wireless local area network (LAN). The wireless interface device is a pen-based device and includes a passive stylus as an input device. In order to facilitate operation of the system, the wireless interface device is provided with one or more user-defined hot icons, which, in response to a pen-down event, can be used to activate a keyboard macro.
