SignPuddle 2.0 requests and ideas

Hello Steve!
This is an exciting message ;-)

Congratulations on all you are accomplishing and thank you for giving  
us such amazing software directly on the web...

I know you already have a very long To-Do List.

And I hate to add to your long list...;-)

But it is sooo tempting!

Here are two ideas based on recent tech support questions I received  
from users...

1. An easy way to someday print to PDF that would make it possible to  
put several documents together into one PDF...

2. A way to copy or translate ONE sign from a dictionary, and insert  
that one sign into the middle of a SignText document that was already  
saved before...

smile...

Many thanks for asking us for new features...

Val ;-)
