<DIV><BR></DIV>Val,<BR>I'd like to jump in here with an observation.
Rather than show knuckles for that side of the hand would it be possible to
just show an arc in the square and a line in the circle? See
attached.<BR>Bill<BR><BR>Valerie Sutton wrote:<BR>

hear from you, and I only wish we were at the stage where we <BR>could

and teacher's perspective....Would this help <BR>you, to read signs, if we
changed the Circle Hand symbol, and the <BR>square for a fist too, to look
like this? (see attached GIF)... Which <BR>do you like better?..adding the
knuckles gives us all the palm facings <BR>clearly...but it does add more to
write by hand...and I don't want to <BR>add these knuckles to all 100
handshapes...and that could be another <BR>problem...it may start to change
all the handshapes, if we make this <BR>one change...I have not made any
decisions yet...If we can keep the <BR>symbols as they are, it would be
better, if Daniel can find a way to <BR>program it...Val ;-)
