Perhaps, Charles, you are thinking of the old way we used to write back in the early 1980's? We can go into the history of the writing system and why we do not use the contact symbol there now in another message ;-)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>So Juliette, there are exactly two ways to write this sign...one without the ending position (simple), and one with the ending position (detailed). Both are correct. Here they are attached. Also, notice in the second one, that the little Finger Movement Arrows are separated rather than connected to each other...Would you like to discuss that detail? smile...You are doing great and I am only discussing so much because I know you said you are interested in details ;-)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I hope Mathilde got her SignBank package by now in the postal mail? You can install SignBank on your Mac with the same CDs that Mathilde can use for her PC...it is for both computers...and I am happy to help... be sure to use the SignBank Runtime file...
