Hello Anny and Everyone -
Technically, the General Arrow does not actually assume contact...The  
General Arrow means overlapping or blending paths...Although usually  
that means the two hands contact, there are some exceptions where the  
two hands do not touch, but the paths blend together anyway...Imagine  
your left hand dripping with white paint...and imagine your right  
hand dripping with black paint. When they are very close to each  
other, the white and black paint blend together to make one General  
movement path...the General Arrow means that the black and white  
paths have merged or blended, with or without contact...

Val ;-)
