I do mention your book, Richard. For those who are new to the List, Richard is the author of a book that uses life-like illustrations, not SignWriting. The illustrations are placed in a special sequence based on the American Manual Alphabet and other details. And I have noticed the book is discussed on other Internet Lists. Congratulations, Richard! SignWriting's Sign-Symbol-Sequence is really quite different, and is not just used for dictionaries, but also used for computer programming in a number of ways. It even influences our keyboard design. Every time a person types with the SignWriter computer program, even though they don't realize it, they are learning the the SSS. So the Sequence is an integral part of typing SignWriting.
