[sw-l] SignWriting Handwriting and Shorthand

[Sandy Fleming]

Hi Val!

Yes. In fact I like to work away from the computer, at least when being
creative. Even in English or Scots I often write stories out by hand and
then go and type them into Word. When programming in work I often write a
new subroutine by hand first before programming it in. It's physically
slower, but then again there are some things that don't need to be done
twice if you take your time in the first place!

That would be great, if you can.

Yes, I'd like to do that - whether my input would be any use is another
question!
