South Korean handshape

[Valerie Sutton]

Hi Steve and Jason!
Yes...this handshape will be a variation no matter what because it  
has to be placed in-between two handshapes that already exist.

But Jason, Steve's question is a good one. If there are variations as  
to the size of the diameter, I can place several different choices of  
size of diameter as variations. This means you can click on the  
Variations Key to get different variations of size of that handshape:

The Variations Key, which stems from SignWriter DOS, and was re- 
implemented by Steve, into SignPuddle, serves two functions. First,  
it gives different sizes of symbols. Many of the Movement Arrows were  
designed with a Small, Medium and Large Variations. Second, it  
provides a way to insert new symbols, in-between existing symbols, so  
the Sequence of symbols is in the correct order, but the ID numbers  
of existing symbols do not have to be changed.
