Abstract
Computer systems that simulate a paper and pen environment have been the focus of considerable development activity. One concern generated from this activity is whether a default set of hand-drawn gestures should be provided to the users. This paper examined whether individuals produced similar gestures for 32 editing functions across four application domains; text, spreadsheet, graphic, and form fill. The individuals (half computer novices and half computer-experienced) indicated gestures for each of the editing functions using each application domain. The results indicated that the consistency of hand-drawn gestures was not affected by the participant's computer experience, by the size and shape of the information to be modified or the application domain.
