>> Hello Everyone!
>> Thanks for this message, Anny....When you type the word-glosses in the

>> caps in the dictionary. And if you want the second version of a sign,
>> then you have to type the version number, such as HELLO_2...otherwise
>> the program doesn't know which sign to grab for the SignWriting
>> translation...If you type a gloss and there is no exact word-gloss
>> like
>> that in the dictionary, then it reverts to the fingerspelling symbols
>> you entered and spells out the entire gloss-word...If you do not have
>> all your fingerspelling symbols as entries in the dictionary, then it
>> cannot replace a gloss with fingerspelling and there will be a
