[sw-l] BRAZIL - New SignWriting Software!! Please test it....

[Bill Reese]

I took a look at it Sandy and, frankly, I couldn't intuitively figure
out how to use it.  Part of the problem is that it's not in English.
Another problem is that it's not programmed well - selecting some
features resulted in a "script error" and the program bombed out.   I
couldn't get past that to figure out how to use it for signwriting.
Words selected from a list appeared in a window, in order of selection,
but there was no accompanying sign writing.
