something that will be familiar to users of the Palm OS as well as Word users

I really don't need the machine to be interfering with what I'm typing. Maybe this auto-substitution could be customizable? Maybe we could use F-keys? Or go back to Wordstar commands...

It's actually surprisingly fun and useful. I have a program called TypeIt4Me that does this. I type a short abbreviation of something, hit the spacebar, and it expands the abbreviation to whatever I have set. You can turn on and off expansion keys. Mine knows all the words I commonly misspell, all the common things I have to type all the time, and it even knows a fair amount of HTML.
