Hello Kelly Jo!
Sorry that I did not acknowledge your writing...thank you very much  
for your posting...

I need to think about the General Arrowhead a little since I had some  
trouble reading your writing...we need to discuss it later because I  
need a little time to figure out what is happening with this  
movement...there have been so many suggestions and they are all  
wonderful...and yet not everyone could read my writing either...so you  
see, we are both in the same boat!

I guess the General Arrowhead should only be the way it was  
orginally...which is for overlapping paths, without any connection to  
whether the hands contact or not...and if that is the rule with the  
General Arrowhead...not requiring contact...then your writing would be  
perfect because the two paths do not overlap if they are staying in  
one place...you would have to have the little line for the wrist to  
make it a wrist motion that stays in one place...but if they really  
travel...then the left writes on top of the right and that becomes an  
overlapping path that would be the general arrowhead for me...

But as I said, let's give this one a little time and re-visit it  
perhaps in a month or so...thanks again for the posting!

Val ;-)
