Dimi wouldn't have to change anything. A BiDi aware engine which is complient enough (i.e. - not what we currently have in Wine)-: will display a logical aleph followed by a "1" as an aleph followed by a 1 RTL (i.e. - the 1 will be on the aleph's left). There is a whole discussion here, but I'm afraid it is somewhat off topic for this presumably amusing thread. Contact me off list if you want to hear more.
As for studying Hebrew - בהצלחה. They say it's a difficult language to learn (I wouldn't really know, of course).

(note that I am presently at a computer *not* set up for i18n) I think Hebrew was made to go RTL just to give programmers headaches. Actually, I'm trying to learn Hebrew, and I keep catching myself trying to write it LTR. Now if Dimi went to the Hebrew alephbet, would he have to change from Z1, Z2,... to 1{aleph}, 2{aleph},...-- Jeff S.From: Shachar Shemesh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
That's why I included them here, so you can copy and paste....
Just remeber to set your locale to either Iso-8859-8 or UTF-8, or you'll lose the special chars. Even more tricky, if your email client supports BiDi (Your'e using kmail, but only the one that came with KDE-3 did, and I don't know what version that was), then the first character, "א", is on the *right* `-)
