SignWriting List

Hello Ron!
Thanks for this message. What you call Hot Keys, I call the  
SignWriter typing program! In other words, in SignWriter DOS Rich  
Gleaves and I co-developed a way to type SignWriting symbols using  
the keyboard. That design is what you call Hot Keys. But there was no  
mouse capabilities in SignWriter DOS. Now in SignPuddle, Steve has  
developed the mouse action, without the typing system. We know that  
someday we should have both, but right now a new version of  
SignPuddle is under development, that will be soooo much better than  
what we have right now. It will not have keyboard typing yet, but it  
will improve the entire program, giving it a firmer basis. And it  
will be available on a USB flash drive, called a PocketPuddle...so  
there are many cool things coming...You will be able to carry  
SignPuddle and all your work in your pocket, and plug it into any  
computer with a USB drive...that will not be dependent on the web...

To read more about the upcoming PocketPuddle, go to:
