      Read the file, 710TINST.INS, located in the CDROM directory
      \DEVTOOLS\PENBASE\710INST for instructions on installing
      Pen for OS/2 on a IBM ThinkPad 710T.

  GENERAL SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
  _____________________________


  o   The "minimum" netbios requirements for running Telepen are:

        COMMANDS = 16
        SESSIONS = 2
        NAMES = 1

      These requirements are in addition to any other netbios
      requirements for other programs that may be running at
      the same time.

  o   If characters sent to an application from the Pop-Up
      Keyboard or Handwriting Pad appear to have their case reversed
      (uppercase vs. lowercase), ensure that the Caps Lock key on
      your physical keyboard is not in the locked position.

  o   The Handwriting Trainer must be closed before performing
      a system shutdown.

  o   The commands listed on pages 118 and 119 of the Pen
      for OS/2 User's Guide should indicate the following:

      CLOSE WINDOW        - This command works for Presentation
                            Manager programs only.
      MAXIMIZE WINDOW     - This command is not supported in WIN-OS/2.
      MAXIMIZE or RESTORE -                "
      MINIMIZE WINDOW     -                "
      MINIMIZE or RESTORE -                "
      OPEN                - This command works for Presentation Manager
                            programs only.

  o   Refer to the User's Guide for the most up-to-date documentation
      about the SEND KEYSTROKES command.  The help information is incorrect.

  o   If you are using a Wacom** SD-510C, it is advisable to
      change the hardware switch settings to the following:

          DS 1      DS 2      DS 3
        11011000  11100001  11010000

               (1=ON, 0=OFF)

      By updating these settings, the device settings will be
      correct in case the tablet controller is reset for any reason.
      Refer to the documentation that came with your device for
      information about changing the settings.


  OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
  ______________________________


  APPLICATION NOTES:
  __________________


    AutoCAD** for OS/2
    ------------------
    - AutoCAD for OS/2 might make a copy of a portion of the
      Handwriting Pad, Pop-Up Keyboard, or Pen Tool Bar graphics
      if these tools are placed over the drawing area.  If this
      occurs, position the tools away from the drawing area.

    CMMouse*
    --------
    - Do not use the Pop-Up Keyboard to input into CMMouse
      pop-up boxes; however, you can use the Pop-Up Keyboard
      to input into a 3270-emulation screen even when
      CMMouse is active.

    - To map CMMouse RIGHT Button Usage to mouse button 2
      emulation on the pen, change all BUTTON RIGHT
      statements in the button definition files (.BDF) to
      BUTTON MIDDLE statements.

    Lotus 123G** for OS/2
    ---------------------
    If the Pen Tool Bar is positioned over the application
    window, double-tapping on the Pen Tool Bar icon might not
    close the Pen Tool Bar.  To avoid this problem, either select
    "Close" from the Pen Tool Bar system menu, or position
    the Pen Tool Bar away from the title bar and the menu bar of
    the application.

    Lotus Freelance Graphics** for OS/2
    -----------------------------------
    If the Pen Tool Bar is positioned over the application
    window, double-tapping on the Pen Tool Bar icon might not
    close the Pen Tool Bar.  To avoid this problem, select "Close"
    Pen Tool Bar system menu.

    Lotus Notes** for OS/2
    ----------------------
    If you assign the "MAXIMIZE or RESTORE" command or the
    "MINIMIZE or RESTORE" command to a gesture, the action
    will be performed on the outside window even if the
    gesture is drawn over the inside window.

    Microsoft Word** for OS/2
    -------------------------
    - The system-supplied commands that can be assigned to a
      gesture might not be functional in this application.
    - The options on the system menu might not be functional
      when using the pen or the mouse.


  WIN-OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
  __________________________________


  o   If you are having difficulty double-tapping in a
      WIN-OS/2 session, run the program DCLICK.EXE.
      DCLICK.EXE is provided with Pen for OS/2.  It is in-
      stalled in the directory where Pen for OS/2 is in-
      stalled.  Start the DCLICK program from an OS/2 window
      prompt.

  o   If you change your mouse settings to left-handed (using
      the Mouse object in the System Setup folder), then a pen
      tap in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session is equivalent to
      a mouse button 2 click.  To avoid this problem, change
      the mouse settings to right-handed.


  APPLICATION NOTES:

    Harvard Graphics** for Windows
    ------------------------------
    - Harvard Graphics for Windows might make a copy of a portion
      of the Handwriting Pad, Pop-Up Keyboard, or Pen Tool Bar
      graphics if these tools are placed over the drawing area.
      If this occurs, position the tools away from the drawing area.


  DOS APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
  _____________________________


  o   In DOS window applications, which process relative mouse
      motion (rather than absolute mouse position), if the DOS
      setting MOUSE_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS is "On", the pen cannot
      be used to emulate a mouse.
