[Sw-l] words to ASL in English. How about HAnim?

[Valerie Sutton]

But how are you writing Merry Christmas in SignWriting? With FSW? With SWU? A graphic like a png did not work… and it got upset with FSW… how did you write the SignWriting so it accepted it?

There are many different ways to sign Merry Christmas and they described in English a different sign… so this is not really SignWriting in a database, is it? I think they got the information from the name I gave the png, not from the written SignWriting symbols, since they were a graphic, maybe I should try to paste FSW?… No matter what, thank you for pointing this program out to us and thank you to everyone involved with these wonderful new programs ;-)
