SignWriting List March 8, 2000 Dear SignWriting List Members: For those who are new to SignWriting, you can download a shareware version of the SignWriter Computer Program: Download SignWriter Shareware https://www.SignWriting.org/sw128.html SignWriter Computer Program Package https://www.SignWriting.org/sw124.html ....................................................................... ........... WORKING WITH DICTIONARIES Here is some general information about working with dictionary files. CREATING NEW DICTIONARY FILES (page 61-62 in the SignWriter Reference Manual) When you use the Setup Dictionary command to switch to a new dictionary, typing the name of a dictionary that does not exist causes the following message to appear: "(name you typed)" not found. Create new dictionary with this name? (Y/N) Pressing the 'N' key (or Escape) cancels the command, keeping the current dictionary. Pressing 'Y' creates a new empty dictionary with the name you typed, and makes it the current dictionary. NOTE - Dictionary names can be up to six characters long, and can consist of either numbers or letters. The standard dictionary name is a three-digit number representing the country code. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SWITCHING BETWEEN DICTIONARY FILES (page 61-62 in the SignWriter Reference Manual) 1. To switch dictionaries, press the Setup command (Alt-'S') on the file screen. The command line is replaced by the following message: Setup | Printing Country Dictionary 2. Press the 'D' key (for 'Dictionary'). The following message appears on the command line: Setup | Current dictionary is 001. New dictionary: 3. Press Return to keep the current dictionary. Otherwise, type the name of the dictionary you want to switch to, then press Return. The contents of the new dictionary will appear when you next use the Dictionary command. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Val ;-) ------------------------------------ Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite https://www.SignWriting.org SignWriting List Archive https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l/ Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA |
