South Korean handshape

[Valerie Sutton]

Jason -
When you say "these" the best, be sure to show me the exact one you  
mean! Because Charles attached several to this message...smile...

The reason it is important to be exact with me, is that each new  
handshapes adds 96 symbols to the ISWA because of the flops and  
rotations, and so adding new symbols has to be thought through  
carefully ;-))

I appreciate it, that you will ask your friends...that is important...

Val ;-)
