<DIV>RE: 3-D Symbols</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Curious, is my suggestion of a slanted circle (45 degrees as opposed to the 90 degree circle) available in this version for a quick writing of boat, house, and all the others that require 45 degrees without having to create 96 3/4-hand shapes? It would fit here under 3-D symbols like the "underneath" half circle as a category by itself.</DIV>
