SignWriting List

Charles-
I spoke with Rocha, while he was here, about your four-language 
dictionary between LIBRAS, Portuguese, ASL and English...and he 
suggested that you prepare it in SignBank, which gives you an Editor 
program for multi-lingual dictionaries. I will be happy to help you 
with that, as soon as you have some of the data entered...so I hope you 
can find a computer to install FileMaker, so you can see your 
dictionary used in the future...I know you worked sooo hard on it, and 
it would be a shame not to enter it into SignBank!

Val ;-)
