Picture examples of SW Symbols

[Steve Slevinski]

Hi Adam,

If you could use gifs and animated gifs roughly 50 by 50 pixels, I could 
create a special version of SignText that would display the lifelike 
images in the symbol palate for viewing.  Whenever the user starts to 
drag a symbol from the palate, the symbol would automatically switch to 
the real IMWA symbol.

It would be a great teaching tool and very interactive.
