Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to type right to left in os2?
I want to type in Hebrew and I cannot figure out how to type it.  I guess I 
could type all the words backward and then use right margin, but that is not
acceptable.  Any suggestions without having to go to windoze?

Re: WP programs which can type right-to-left.

This isn't going to be much help, except to reassure that there
_is_ such a product.  I just can't remember its name.  The WP in
question has been on the market for some years, runs (I think) in
DOS (maybe Win <grahh-spew!> by now), and is supposed to be for
the keen international user: supports scads of languages.  But it
was pricey.

Sorry to leave it there.  Don't remember any more.

Still no non-WinDoze solution.  But, via a roundabout route, I
have been emailed by Rann Glaser of Team OS/2 with details of
what sounds like the WP software I was trying to remember:

	Name:	"Dagesh" (in Israel) / "Accent" (elsewhere)
	From:	Kivun Computers : info@accent.co.il
	Notes:  "Excellent" multi-lingual Word Processor (for
		WinDross, alas).  Does not require hebrew OS/2
		or hebrew WinBlows.  No OS/2 version yet, beyond
		maybe-beta; apply friendly pressure to Kivun.

Rann also remarks there still isn't ANY WP for OS/2 in hebrew.
Hebrew bonus pack thought planned for next few months; should
include hebrew WP.

Personal note: even if Dagesh/Accent is for WinWoes, at least one
can run it in the OS/2 WinOS2 box.

(Hope that all made sense.)
