SignWriting analysis screen

SignWriting List
January 27, 2010

Hi Steve!
Thank you for this great summary below...good information! And thank  
you for the great new features, like finding the frequency that one  
symbol is used in a document...that is very helpful.

Here is my question...Yesterday I posted a message teaching everyone  
how to click on the word "Analyze" under a sign entry in SignPuddle,  
and when you do that you could find the symbols in the sign to click  
on...

My message to the List was entitled "[sw-l] New Symbol Analysis in  
SignPuddle Online"...I have pasted it below this message here to show  
you my diagrams...but today, when I click on the same word Analysis  
under a sign, it is not showing us the same screens...was something  
changed in the past day? grin ;-) I suspect so...I will need to re- 
teach what is there? no problem at all...Val ;-)
