Sharing Your Sentences With Others

Saving Someone Else's SignText Documents on Your Computer
1. You receive an email with the SignText sentence.
2. Click on the Load This Sentence Into SignText link, at the bottom  
of the email.

4. Press the Options Key.
5. Save the sentence as a bookmark in your browser.

This process can be used for editing documents too. Editors can send  
small portions of a sentence, to each other, to discuss how to spell  
signs and how to construct sentences...and all this can be done with  
little or no spoken language...and using no glosses from spoken  
languages...
