I vaguely remember that later versions of Palm OS had a slightly different graffiti alphabet than my old III, but didn't know the details. On your T3, did you use lower case "a" in both LC and UC spaces? I'm accustomed to the simplified capital A (which actually looks more like "^").
On another note, my Ax doesn't understand my "D" very well. It also sometimes makes my "o" into an "oe" if I'm just the least bit sloppy. Other than these two glitches, I'm happy with the Axim's implementation of the block recognizer.

Yes I know what you mean, my first PDA was a first generation Palm Pro.
I have grown accustomed and quick in my opinion to entering in graffiti the old fashion (single stroke input).
I to catch myself trying to up stroke for caps now, but I also purchased the newest units so during the m500 series they introduced graffiti 2, replacing graffiti 1, and how you input letters.
In other words after the IBM suite, you needed to go 2 stroke verse 1.
I found though that if you install the graffiti 1 files (Palm V, Vx, III, etc.)over the newer ones on a T3, or m500 series you could use the old single stroke method until you hard reset then you must reinstall and repeat all over again.
As to the input LC vs UC, yes you would enter your letters the same in either box and they would appear depending which box yo entered them into .
You could have all UC , or all LC, or a mix if you required.
But like the PC you could switch back and forth as you wanted, 3 box to the 2 box input DIA, or to a keyboard screen if you wanted.
I have had a few issues with D's P's and E's but then they work, so I always thought it was me.
Maybe I should look into this a bit.
