Smile...You are right. I had no idea the underscore was a problem
myself until now!

Stephen is on the SW List to answer technical support questions, so
Stephen...help...smile...

Or you can write to him privately for tech support...

And Stephen is working on a new version of SignPuddle that will, I
believe, include Unicode, so it will be more sophisticated. Right now,
SignPuddle 1.0 has some problems with unusual characters and accents
that are normal in other spoken languages, but in the basic ASCII
characters are not...so until SignPuddle 2.0 is ready I would suggest
just keeping the writing in Italian as simple as possible...some of the
accents in your Italian words may be hard to search on also...I am not
sure...

Anyway, this will be rectified in the new version...
