If you look at the ASL sign in the SignPuddle for Squirrel is is shown from the side at an angle, and it makes it much easier to write with the fingertips touching so it matches.  The split hands for half and half rotated make the orientations both clear and intuitive.  I am also going to load another squirrel in their with this orientation up and down so that you can see it in another way.<br><br><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/COMPAQ%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-18.jpg" alt=""><br><br>Charles<br><br><br><table border="1" cellpadding="5"><tbody><tr><td><div><b>squirrel</b></div></td><td><img src="http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/data/sgn/4/5888.png"><br><br></td></tr></tbody></table><br><br>  <table border="1" cellpadding="5"><tbody><tr><td><img

 better suggestion? </div><div> </div><div>Thanks, </div><div>KJ<br><br></div><hr> <a
