In writing a window-based program on a Dandilion, I have been
slowly moving away from ascii keyboard input. I dont
have the ability to add a chord keyboard, so I am limited
to novel uses of windows and menus. For example, numbers which
are constrained in range are easy to enter with a small window,
using the final-position's ratio to the width or height of the window.
I thought a good way to enter text is with a simulation of the
"wipe keyboard" which supposedly has the letters set up in
a easy-to-learn and quick-to-enter topology.

Will someone out there point me to a reference on the "wiping keyboards"
please!


Thanks in advance,
