<BR>
OH. Are you talking about writing hands with the computer, that are at a Diagonal Forward or Back angle? That old symbol used a slash across the symbol...that is true. But I took that out of the official writing system in the ISWA 2008 and ISWA 2010, because no one was using them, and I know that people can construct them if they really want to use them. You</PRE><PRE><FONT size=2 face="Courier New"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> can write them by computer, by placing a line across symbols and finding the dot too...see attached diagram:<BR>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><BR>As you know, the dot represents the fingers coming towards the body in the back diagonal position - I personally do not choose to write the Forward-Diagonal and Back-Diagonal hand positions - I think the slash and the slash with the dot were too confusing and the symbol is not used enough to warrant having it an official symbol in the ISWA 2010 - we can write just fine, with choosing either the Parallel to the Floor or Parallel to the Front Wall positions, and then if there is a movement that goes Forward-Diagonal or Back-Diagonal, that we have, that makes it clear ...so I personally would hesitate to put in so much detail...but for research of course, it can be used and it is certainly your choice if you feel it is necessary - > > If I were to use the slash as up and out, I'd put it at the tip of the hand so I could conceivably write palm up and and out,
(slash at the tip) and palm up and back (dot on the tip). If you put a dark circle above the tip, you squeeze the hand, and in the middle it could be a thumb projecting. > > I will make this into a PDF so you see what I mean from my lessons. It applies to every hand so that now you can show all those 45 degree variants that are sometimes a real challenge to write. I'm still experimenting. Wow. That is a great deal of detail. Sounds like you are working very hard, and a very interesting project!
