Thank you Adam, for showing how all these symbols relate from the heal 
view to the top views in different positions and listing all of the 
heals hands for for me.  This is exactly what I was looking for.

It will be interesting to program because two different heal views refer 
to the same top view symbol and another two heal view symbols to another 
top view symbol.  It's my personal opinion that there should be 4 palm 
facings in each plane and I understand that the fourth for most symbols 
looks like the other one and was removed when simplifying the symbols 
some years back.  If someday we do add a fourth one we should make it 
look a little different from the other one so we can tell them apart.  
But I haven't a clue what in what way it would be different.

Thanks for your help.
