        This is very exciting, Valerie!  I believe it is the first
opportunity to create monolingual sign language dictionaries (unless a
character-based writing system is used), as you say.  Is the idea that the
author would write the definition in SignWriter, then export to a graphics
file, and paste the graphics file into SignBank?
