1. A kit for recording a note in freehand, comprising:

  • a unit for relaying information of a note in freehand created on a notesheet, including a pad having a surface on which the notesheet can be positioned, the pad including a housing, and, secured to the housing, a position sensor detecting the position of a writing tip of a writing instrument when the notesheet is located on the surface and the writing instrument is used to create a note in freehand and a written command element on the notesheet, and providing information of the note in freehand and the written command element, a signal converter which receives the information of the note in freehand and the written command element from the position sensor and converts the information to a signal of information of the note in freehand, and the written command element, and a transmitter which receives the signal from the signal converter and transmits the signal to a remote location; and

    a computer readable medium having stored thereon a program which, when executed by a processor of a user computer at the remote location is capable of;

    (i) communicating with a receiver which receives the signal which is transmitted;

    (ii) recognizing the written command element in the signal;

    (iii) comparing the written command element from the signal with a number of different network command elements in a table of network command elements with each network command element having a different network address associated therewith, and accessing a selected network address in the table associated with a selected network command element in the table that corresponds most closely with the written command element; and

    (iv) transmitting a packet from the user computer to a recipient computer, the recipient computer having the selected network address, and the packet including information of the note created in freehand on the notesheet to enable the recipient computer to display a curve substantially corresponding to what the note in freehand created on the notesheet looks like in freehand.
