thinking of making is possible to reposition the symbols with another mouse

<DIV><SPAN class=100424816-19032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
removed the I.gif file. The name of the sign should have been just
"I". Then the sign would have been uploaded and named "I_2". The
definition can be used to specify where the sign is used or it's
definition. I hope the dictionary will become large enough to allow
circular definitions of the signs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=100424816-19032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
letter i has priority for the sign name I because of spelling. If you want
to translate "I am who I am", you should use "Me am who me am." If you
want to try and upload a new version of "I", it will be named "I_2" so the
translation would need to be "I_2 am who I_2 am".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Online<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>That's neat Stephen!<BR>I played with it a bit -
just selecting a few symbols at random and moving them around. È It worked! È
Great job! È I was wondering if you could make moving easier by returning to
the previous setup, like what happens when you push the back button in a
browser and inserting again, but this time with the picture of the first
location shown for reference. È Then, when the new location is selected, the
first location is "erased" and the new location placed. È <BR><BR>I went to
the translater afterwards and noticed that if I typed the word "I" as in "I am
who I am", the translator doesn't give me the word "I", it gives me the letter
"i". È I tried adding a sign to the dictionary which is the same as "me". È It
showed up as "I.gif" in the dictionary. È I also was unsure what the ASL
Definition was asking for and just typed the word "I". È Clicking on "I.gif"
in the È dictionary didn't show the file I had
uploaded.<BR><BR>Bill<BR><BR><BR>Stephen Slevinski wrote:<BR>
