1. A method for revising an electronic revisable-form document of a computer-based application comprising: providing a set of computer executable edit operations for the computer-based application, the computer executable edit operations being responsive to selected handwritten symbols; providing a positional input receiving mechanism to accept handwritten input; accepting from the positional input receiving mechanism selected handwritten input as handwritten symbols within the selected handwritten symbols and as positional locations, and storing a representation of the selected handwritten input at data locations of a memory device; recognizing one or more of the accepted handwritten symbols as elementary units defining embeddable revisions, one or more of the embeddable revisions being operable to cause a change in the electronic revisable-form document; associating the elementary units defining embeddable revisions with selected computer executable edit operations within the computer executable edit operations, the selected computer executable edit operations having direct access to selected revision locations in the electronic revisable-form document; identifying relevant insertion locations associated with the selected computer executable edit operations based upon the selected computer executable edit operations and the accepted handwritten symbols associated with the selected computer executable edit operations; computing values of revision locations within the selected revision locations, said values being computed based on the one or more of the accepted handwritten symbols and the identified relevant insertion locations associated with the one or more of the accepted handwritten symbols; converting the embeddable revisions and the computed revision locations communicated by the selected handwritten input associated with selected elementary units within the elementary units defining embeddable revisions into one or more machine executable processes that interface between a) the selected elementary units and said computed revision locations associated with the selected elementary units and b) one or more of the selected computer executable edit operations associated with the selected elementary units and having direct access to the computed revision locations associated with the selected elementary units; and executing said one or more machine executable processes to embed the embeddable revisions defined by the selected elementary units into the electronic revisable-form document at said computed revision locations associated with the selected elementary units in a format supported by the computer-based application.
11. The method according to claim 1 further comprising: associating a handwritten symbol with its intended said elementary unit defining an embeddable revision as the handwritten symbol is written at said positional input receiving mechanism.
