This is beautifull - this will be a great tool in the future.<BR>
<BR>
Just one thing: for the layout, place the ASL examples under the arrows that link to next page, as ASL will not be the only SL where this is used.<BR>
<BR>
A mirror page for NTS/ Norwegian, another for DGS/ German, etc. will be natural in the future.Thanks again!<BR><BR>Ingvild <BR><BR><BR><BR>

<DIV>And yes, of course, when the new ISWA is released officially it will be accompanied by instruction. I am writing several manuals on the ISWA, including some new web areas. They are only partially done. That is what Jonathan was referring to....he found this web area:</DIV>
