My only *big* problem with Newton HWR are my apostrophes. I cringe every
time I try to write a contraction. When I try to write an apostrophe as a
tick, it becomes an "i" or a cedille, and when I try to write it as a
superscript comma, it comes out as a normal comma.
A semi-related question: is there any way to suppress the interpretation of
international characters on an English 2100? I'm tired of these letters
popping up either in the recognized word or in the corrections list.

Laurent, I had no clue that this dialog ever existed. Probably because I
have never used the cursive engine before. Thank you!!
