He lightened your load in the inbox and *enlightened* much for many
others.

Why is 6219 not counted? This sounds interesting....

This is news to me that in handwriting you put different width spacing. Is
this a calligraphy thing or do people really do this in normal, everyday
handwriting? (I really would like to know and that would be really great
if some of the silent lurkers would come out of the woodwork and let us
know!!)

I will try to make more scientific observations to see if these are just
name changes or what. I just move from computer to computer so much I
can't keep track of which keys do what and I just start pounding various
keys til I achieve what I want!

No! Only under extreme conditions I sometimes put a full space between
"mi" and "konad" but that is only when desperate. I never can bring myself
to type "mikonad" without any space.

So I'm learning! Maybe without even getting bigger.
Behdad, you said "Persian Computing Made Easy". It's not *easy* but sure
is a lot of fun!
