Thanks for your feedback everyone. It looks like I didn't express myself well enough. Everyone is right of course in that the Wacom digitizer is able to detect the pen when it is hovering above the screen. Indeed, on Tablet PCs, in mouse mode, where the pen is used for controlling the cursor, the pen is detected almost an inch away from the screen. In pen mode, however, the pen needs to be much closer to be detected (the sensitivity of the detection algorithm is changed). Essentially,the sensitivity for pen detection needs adjustment on IREX - on the TabletPCs I use, the pen never writes while it is off the screen (in fact it requires a bit of pressure before registering any inking). As a result, the effect is much closer to natural pen, paper combo. IREX does not quite have the detection sensitivity right, and often registers as ink those strokes which were not intended to be recorded as ink. This was simply mypoint. with a little adjustment, I am sure they will get it right.
