You might (and we'll ask Simon) want to have the following buttons, 1. Shape - ON/OFF (default: ON) 2. Flipping - ON/OFF (default: OFF)* 3. Bidi - ON/OFF (default: ON)* (*) items are mutually exclusive (if flipping is ON, bidi is OFF and vice-versa (this might be helpful in debugging things). Enabling Bidi also enables shaping unless user disable shaping on purpose, etc. > ATTN nadim: please postpone your cosmetic changes until the new patch is > uploaded (if it is)... or u can just tell me what they are...

They simply seem to be silent on this list for whatever reason ;-) Ahmad, what's great about this email is that Bidi's inclusion is simply a matter of finding the properly licensed code -- we can leave that decision to Simon. The fact that you did it on one set of code tells me its simply a matter of hours to get it done on something completely different which is great :-) Wonderful work and keep at it.
