Hello List members, Sandy and Bill!
Thanks so much for this feedback on the new Brazilian software. I just
wrote to the programmer, Pedro Augusto, and asked him to join the
SignWriting List, so he can get your feedback...and maybe he can get
some ideas from all of you...You all are a remarkable group of people!
Thanks for your time, Bill and Sandy....Val ;-)
