The Power of PenPoint chapter 1 and 2 are available online – tablet OS in 1991.

Link. I have this book. "The most interesting and useful capability of the pen is not the handwriting you can perform with it, but the gesture commands you can issue with it. Gesture commands specify in a single step both a command and the target of the command. With mouse-based systems, the user must always select the operand object, then select the command verb. With the pen, users simply draw the command directly over the intended operand object."
