of a similar problem: Or files so far are also in SW DOS 4.4. Just today we
made a contract with a provider here and now (I think we can use it starting
tonight) we will have unlimited internet access. So I want to start using the
dictionary for Filipino Sign Language in SignPuddle. The only thing that
bothered me so far is that it seemed such a hassle to enter all our signs
again. Did I understand correctly that there might be a possibility of sending
you our DOS files and you could somehow put them into our SignPuddle? If that
is right, could you please tell me how to get the dictionary files from DOS
into an e-mail that I could send to you and what else I need to do (if
anything?). It would be a big help for us if we just had to enter the new signs
and not those that we put into the DOS so far (there are about 440
signs). Steve and Dianne sent us their SW Lessons in English and we
started to adapt them for the Philippines – this is really a great tool, the
more we get into it the more we are impressed at how easy it makes teaching SW
and how everything builds on something else. I think SignPuddle will also be a
big help for adapting this book, since it lets us search by symbols, is that right?</span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>Now, regarding transferring your DOS files. Although
technically it could be done, there is a big problem with it. Anything that is
not entered directly into SignPuddle from the beginning, cannot be sorted by
symbols, or copied, pasted, edited etc. In other words, the new SignPuddle ,
with all its modern features, can only give you those new features, if you
enter the signs from the beginning, directly into SignPuddle. So if you want to
sort dictionaries by Sign-Symbol-Sequence later, then you need to enter them
one by one into SignPuddle now, I am sorry to say...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

because some of the signs were entered from the beginning and some were pasted
in as graphics from the old DOS dictionary, and those old DOS signs cannot be
sorted or edited, so we are slowly trying to re-enter them one by one
ourselves...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
