Gesture Mosaic - for Newton Operating system 1.x. The easiest way to get going with Gesture Mosaic is to use the tutorial game, Rapid Fire. After uncompressing the software, load Rapid Fire onto your Newton and open it. Rapid Fire is a fun

tutorial game which will teach you the Gesture Mosaic alphabet. To play, tap the 'Begin' button and destroy the falling words by typing them using the Mosaic. An arrow portraying the appropiate gesture for each letter will appear to assist you. To make the gesture, just trace the stem of the arrow that appears. Gesture Mosaic is a fast, accurate way to enter letters and numbers on a Personal Digital Assistant

such as the Apple Newton. Characters are written by making a short gesture on the Mosaic, a template based on the figure eight.  A gesture is a stroke drawn with the pen in a curved or straight line.
