Dear SW List...
I have been testing the SignWriting Online Dictionary from
Belgium...What a great way to search for signs by handshape...Have any
other List members tried it yet? You can search the ASL dictionary:

Steven - I do have one question. When I click on a body part, and then
choose a contact symbol to search...shouldn't the contact symbol show
up on the stick figure drawing after that? It did before, but now it is
not doing that...anyway...it does the searches I want, whether the
symbol appears on the stick figure later or not...

Val ;-)
