[sw-l] using SignWriting to index Stokoe's dictionary

[Kimberley A. Shaw]

Hello Stuart, Val & all:
aha! Am halfway there ... got several signs when searching a plain "c"
hand in SignPuddle ASL -- but the signs for "search" or "strange" were not
among them, however, which *I* find strange! What would keep a search from
catching these signs? And what the heck does "fill" mean?
Best,
Kim
