Art for
X-Pad's
Sake
Perhaps
the most
exciting feature of your
X-Pad
is that it
lets
you
"free-form"
draw
with just the
stroke of the Pen.
By entering the drawing program, you can
trace
or
create
any
figure
on your X-Pad and
have
it displayed
on your
Color Computer's Screen. (Within minutes, you too can
become another Picasso!) The only artistic limitation to
this program is your imagination, so let the good
times
flow!
After youVe run the program, drawing starts when you
press the Pen down on X-Pad and ends
when
you
lift the
Pen up
from
X-Pad's surface.
To free-form draw, enter this program:

RUN the
program,
lower the Pen tip to the paper and
press
down, move
it across the paper, and you're drawing!
Okay

re-run the program, and you can continue
