Dear SW Listers, and Stephen!
Thank you, for this gift to ASL signers, Stephen...Quite an
accomplishment...I plan to really test it later. Right now I am working
on the Happy Birthday postings that Adam Frost sent us for a web
posting...plus some Deaf opinions that were given to me awhile back for
posting, and then I will get back to the PUDL ASL Online Dictionary!!

Has anyone else on the SignWriting List tried Stephen's new online
dictionary? We would love your feedback....

Val ;-)
