100% MESSAGEPADMy Erratic Script Sometimes Assists Good Expansion Production - Alternate Decipherings. Angela Brett, because she originally thought of 'My Erratic Scribbling' but her Newton MessagePad couldn't read that, and suggested Scripting - which, minus the -ing, is probably a better word for the expansion.
