Hello Everyone, and Nancy -
Yes. You can go back and edit something you typed...There are some
bugs, but if you know what to do when they happen, then you will
actually create a document...it was these bugs that made me think that
I could not release SignWriter Java in its current state, and yet now I
am glad I did...If I hadn't, you and I would not be working together,
would we?

So...now...To edit a sign already typed, first you must Select the sign
that you have already typed, with your mouse. I know you have already
done this, but for this exercise, do it anyway... Take your mouse and
place it at the beginning of the sign. There should be a blinking
cursor. Then drag it over the sign and it should turn dark blue...that
is how you Select a sign in SignWriter Java...please see attached...to
be continued...this will take several screens to explain...
