>messages, domain names, how do you write English/Hebrew pathnames?,


hrm, not knowing any RTL langs myself, what about this:
(the backwards words imagine to be in RTL format)

                              whoami$
                                caasi (isaac)
                                 pwd$
                          /home/caasi (/home/issac)
                                  ls$
                                    .
                                   ..
                                file1
                                dir1/
                          1elifwerbeh (hebrewfile1)
                       emanridcibara/ (arabicdirname)
            1elifwerbeh pattern grep$
      dir1/dirwerbeh/ridbuswerbeh cd$ (dir1/hebrewdir/hebrewsubdir)
                             root su$
                            password:
                              *******
                                    #


Obviously, the breakdown is that space would have to be treated
specially, as a word breaker.

Yeah, I think it would probably get confusing. Perhaps this is best
for word processors. But the alternitive: would arabic/hebrew glyphs
be useful at all in LTR?
