A message received January 6, 1999... >Yesterday I got your diagonals off the web, today I took them to work with >me.

I like the way you wrote it with stars on email!! Just think of the horizon. Whether you are going down or up, if you are also going forward, you are "hitting the horizon" as you go "down and forward", or "up and forward". The forward part of the movement is represented by the horizontal line. And, if the movement is coming back toward the chest - think of the nose of the airplane. If the plane is flying back toward your chest, whether it be "up and back" or "down and back", you place a dot on the stem of the arrow to show it is traveling back toward you. This question is referring to this lesson on the web: Writing Diagonal Movement https://www.SignWriting.org/arrow011.html Hope this helps!
