<div>Stefan and Sr. Rocha,</div> <div> </div> <div>This question of presentation will, I think, always be with us. I'm going back and working on the Libras/ASL dictionaries, and that has been one thing I've debated over. </div> <div> </div> <div>I'd love to see a macro (dream list) that could take any document that uses IMWA imbedded and flip it all from right hand primary expressive to left hand primary receptive or any other mirroring exercise. Now that would be a good challenge for any Python expert. </div> <div> </div> <div>I am so glad to see you on line, Sr. Rocha, as it's been a long time. I'm still working on coming down in December for at least a month.</div> <div> </div> <div>Charles Butler</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>Antônio Carlos da Rocha Costa <rocha@ATLAS.UCPEL.TCHE.BR></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px;
