Sign Names

[K.J. Boal]

Thanks, Val... I really enjoyed yesterday's discussion too!  The J in both 
signs is actually showing the end position, which is why I placed the 
movement symbol where I did... but either way, I prefer the first one! :-)  
And thanks again to everyone who made comments and suggestions yesterday - I 
really appreciate them.
KJ
