I don't think there is one.

That would be the syllabary grid. The only question is which
order ther rows should follow, there seem to be two popular
sequences.

I guess so. I can only fit 25 rows into a screen height.

How about turning the syllabaray sideways and running it across
the bottom, 30 rows x 8 columns.

I spent some time last night googling images for Thai. I used
Richard's Thai input and Marco's book to google spagetti - no
images, hotel - a few nice images and Thailand 999,000
webpage hits!

While I don't mind using itghe application as a picker, it is really
useful to have the keyboard program included so eventually as
one becomes familiar with it, one can just key in the letters.
