Load Signs from SignPuddle into SignText

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
March 8, 2006

Be sure to bookmark your sentences, which can be re-loaded later to  
grab signs too...you can create your own mini-dictionary by  
bookmarking what you create in SignText...the bookmarks have to be  
done from the Options page...but you could have 100 bookmarks with a  
few signs each...to re-use time and time again for different  
sentences...
