They can be separated some, I suppose, but the official "book" position and how Deaf people actually sign the letters are pretty much the same on this one. > > I can't help you with the keyboard arrangement in Japan. Sorry. Keyboard arrangement is great! The Japanese keyboard has a couple of extra keys which are apparently not found on the U.S. keyboard, so two of the letters (mu and ro) had to be put next to the space where they belong, and accessed using the shift key. Looking again at the chart (sorry, I don't have a U.S. keyboard), it looks as though "mu" might be able to go where the english "backslash" is, unless the backslash is needed for some other reason, but I don't see any other place for the "ro". Thanks for the great work. Mark Mark Penner Tokyo, Japan | ||||||||||||
