And I know that there are others here on the list who are eager for a way to type and communicate in SignWriting with each other. There are many ways to do this, and one way is the way Shiona did it. Shiona (I believe) downloaded our SignWriter shareware for free from our web site. And as you can see by what Shiona mentioned above, she is typing and her child is benefitting from it. We can all discuss the new software later... I am writing this message to give you answers for RIGHT NOW :-) You can download the existing shareware, type messages in a SignWriter file, and then send those files to each other as attached files. And if the person on the other end uses the SignWriter Computer Program themselves, then they can open the attached file and read the message you sent them. So...for example...I know there are some parents on the list, including Shiona and "Sign4Baby". You could be creating vocabulary lists for your children in SignWriter and sending each other attached files right now :-) I know Shiona and Charles Butler and Ben Karlin, and several others here on the list, already use SignWriter 4.3. Why not try attaching files to each other through email? Tomorrow I will send a message discussing IDEA #2. Meanwhile, if you want to try IDEA #1, you can download our shareware at: Download Shareware https://www.SignWriting.org/sw128.html And by the way, out of around 50 different people downloading the shareware, I get around 2 complaints from people who have trouble, so - please write to me personally if this happens to you. I can send the shareware file to you on a disk if the problem cannot be solved. So I hope you start attaching SignWriter files to each other - All the best to everyone!
