>> Hello Everyone!
>> Thanks for this message, Anny....When you type the word-glosses in the
>> email program on SignPuddle, you have to type each gloss carefully to
>> make sure it matches exactly the same as the sign is listed in the
>> dictionary. So all caps has to be used, if the sign is listed with all
>> 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
>> question
>> mark for that one gloss when the SignWriting appears...smile....Val
