[sw-l] Symbol Group folders and PDF listings...

[Hope Hurlbut]

Dear Valerie,
Hmm! Interesting work you are doing, but SO tedious.   I am glad it is not
me!
I will be interested to see some of your results.  Maybe some of the
SignWriting symbols  that I have "invented" are already available in the
work you are doing.  When I put pieces together, they are not very elegant.
Sincerely,
Hope
