<DIV>My problem (for glyphes from 1 to 7) is that I've searched everywhere but I can't find a translation for "heel" that has nothing to do with feet. So my question is: is there feet's configuration on SW? and, if yes... why? I've never seen any deaf making configurations with their feet!<BR>And I really can't understand the explanation for glyphe 8.<BR><BR>Maybe all this problem is caused by my horrible English?!?!<BR><BR>Thanks a lot to all<BR><BR>Claudia S.
