<div>Cool, thanks Paul. I thought that perhaps with this new course some of the rules might have changed, particularly if one is doing the flat hand without a finger bar with just two lines, since she gives that as an option as well. </div> <div> </div> <div>Charles<BR><BR><B><I>Paul <gebaerdenschrift@plh.lu></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Charles Butler wrote:<BR>Valerie, could you please post exactly what to do with the flat hand <BR>parallel to the floor.
