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

[Kimberley A. Shaw]

Hello Val and all:
thank you!
I'm off to tackle the Stokoe-index project now, and am admiring the way
these SignPuddle signs cut-and-paste into Word for the PC. It will be
interesting to see how much overlap there is between Stokoe & SignPuddle
... or not!
