I think there is a Hebrew font available for Windows, as well as
a multi-lingual word processor for Windows.  But for straight DOS?
Nothing that I am aware of.  Someone may have whomped up a Hebrew
character set, but the software would have to be rewritten to
make actual Hebraic words.... (i.e. The word "File" in WordPerfect
help would appear as $!@# (or whatever), using the bitmaps defined
in the character set for the letters 'F' 'i' 'l' and 'e' respectively.
It would not translate automatically into whatever the Hebrew word
for "File" was....)
