The FITALY One-Finger Keyboard for Newton

About FITALY
------------

The FITALY One-Finger Keyboard for Newton is a stand-alone utility
usable as an ergonomic replacement for the default on-screen keyboard.
The FITALY key arrangement minimizes pen travel: 84% of the text-entry
keystrokes are placed in a very tight pattern, with the remaining
keystrokes never more than two keys away. In addition, each key is
placed near the keys most likely to follow it in English text.

The effect is to minimize pen travel. In addition, the layout
practically eliminates hand movement when typing text."

Hope this helps. I do have a copy of what I think is the demo.
