Dasher Main Window
Initially, the characters appear in boxes in a vertical column on the right hand side, as shown in figure 1.  Start by clicking the left mouse button near the cross-hair move the pointer towards the first letter you want to write. e.g. 't'.  The display will start to zoom in towards the 't'.  You can stop at any time by clicking on the left mouse button. The horizontal direction controls the rate of zooming in. Moving the pointer to the right zooms in. Moving the pointer to the left zooms out. The vertical co-ordinates determine the place which is being zoomed in on.  As the desired letter moves towards the crosshair, further letters can be selected by searching within the box of the current letter. In figure 2, 'h' is being selected.
Writing 't' followed by 'h'.
Always look inside the current letter for the next letter. For example, to write 'the', point at the 'e' within 'h'. An easy mistake to make is to go for the first e you see, and not the 'e' within 'h'. The text box above the display shows what is being written. To start again, tap New.
