Use the personal word list to enter an equivalent. For instance, on my
Newton, I did define "->" to be a tab. Whenever I write "->", the Newton
recognizes it and substitute a tab. To bring your personal word list,
double-tap in some text area to bring up the keyboard. Click the little
envelope button in the lower left corner. Then, enter whatever combo
characters you want to be recognized. For example, using the onscreen
keyboard, enter "->". Then, click the "Expand" button. You will probably get
a warning depending on what you enter that there is no alphabetic letters in
the word. Just ignore it. Then, click the tab on the onscreen keyboard, then
click "Add". You're done...
