1. A computing system, said computing system comprising:
- a handwriting input device and a computing device, said handwriting input device including an electronic pen input device having a first tip that emits a signal having a first characteristic and a second tip that emits a signal having a second characteristic;
a detector for detecting said characteristic of the emitted signal; and
a controller, interfaced with said handwriting input device, for selectively interpreting the emitted signal as handwriting or as control information for said computing device based on the detected characteristic of said emitted signal.
