PCT No. PCT/GB94/01628 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 16, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 16, 1996 PCT Filed Jul. 28, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO96/03687 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 8, 1996A device for storing information electronically and which has a pen-sensitive screen enabling a user to make freehand input has the screen divided into two areas-a main area and a subsidiary area adjacent the main area. The user can tag items of freehand input causing a tag item to be displayed alongside the freehand input and can subsequently manipulate (eg delete, move, copy) the freehand input by selecting and manipulating the associated tag item. Tag items provide a permanent way of structuring data and are an elegant way of uniting several data manipulations.
