Scratch

abeair: That's a really cool idea. It looks like the pen records a visual representation of what you write (by figuring out the pen's path on the specially-patterned paper), which is then later transferred to your computer via USB. Assuming that the data is not proprietary or encrypted (which is a big assumption), you may be able to do something with the position data and interface it with Scratch through the external sensor feature of v1.3. It would probably take a little programming on your part, though.

It looks like they have an Eclipse-based software-development-kit available:

I was also thinking that you could have a control block that was {When character <letter/number>     in <cursive/block/any> written}
