Looks like they gave up on dictionary look-ups and went with letter-by-letter
handwriting recognition. Just like the Zoomer :-).

NEW NEWTON. Apple new version of the Newton Messagepad has improved word
recognition software (which now tries to read a word letter-by-letter
rather than trying to look it up in a dictionary), communications
capability for paging (with two-way wireless modems announced but not yet
available), more applications software, and a lower price (now $599). (New
York Times 3/4/94 C1)

I'm not really sure how to read the above paragraph. Is it saying that
only handprinted (letters are disconnected) only or that the approach
to cursive (letters are connected) has been modified ?
