> Hi List,

> I'm almost done with the new SignMaker for the ISWA.  This be will used in

>
> Improvements
> ==========
> Small Screen Support
> ----------------------------
> The entire SymbolPalette now fits on the screen without scrolling.  We may 
> need to discuss the size of the SignBox, which has increased.  Can you see 
> the whole SignBox and all of the Special Commands?
>
>
> SignSpelling Sequence
> -----------------------------
> The sequence is now on the same screen as the SignBox.  You can write the 
> sign and add the sorting information at the same time.  The sequence is 
> the little square box on the top right.  You can drag a symbol from the 
> SymbolPalette or the SignBox.  You can reorder the sequence by dragging 
> the symbols around.  You can remove symbols from the sequence by clicking. 
> Blank boxes in the sequence are ignored.
>
>
> Fine Movement and Grid
> --------------------------------
> There are now directional arrows in the special command section for fine 
> tuning the placement of symbols.  Select a symbol (so it turns blue) and 
> move it around 1 pixel at a time with any of the arrows.  If no symbol is 
> selected, all symbols will more.  The icon in the middle of the arrows 
> will turn on the SignBox grid for easier spatial comparison.
>
>
> I've tested the new SignMaker in FireFox and Internet Explorer on Mac and 
> Windows.  The only problem is with IE and the fine movement arrows.
>
> Any feedback or comments are welcome.

> Thanks,
