HOW TO
Create Vocabulary Lists with SignText Offline

1. Download the newest version of SignText:
http://signbank.org/signpuddle/signtext.zip

2. Download the SignText Reference Manual
http://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs3/sw0244-SignText-Instruction.pdf

3. Read the Manual page by page...
Good idea to review every page to understand the program...

4. Use SignText to create a vocabulary list, not a sentence
Create all your signs in one long list...maybe five or ten signs at  
most, in one long list, in SignText offline
(if you do not know how to do this, please ask and I will explain in  
more detail)

5. Press the Options Button
To save your vocabulary list, you MUST press the Options Button first...

6. Save the Vocabulary List by Bookmarking It in Firefox
Give each Vocabulary List a unique name in bookmarks, like Verbs 1,  
Verbs 2, Verbs 3
(If you do not know how to do this, please ask and I will explain in  
more detail)
