I am posting this for a friend in the language department.
He just received a copy of the SuperHebrew fonts for using
with Macwrite.  The documentation talks about a right to left
desk accesory (i.e. allows you to type from the right side to the
left side, particularly important when doing Hebrew). 
Unfortunately, this DA was not included and a phone call to the
distributor of the SuperHebrew program revealed that the DA had
been full of probrems and had been withdrawn for further research.

Does anyone know of any applications or DA's that allow right to
left word processing and that are known to work?  My friend's
Hebrew fonts are no good to him without this capability (unless
he writes everything out first and then types it in "backward")

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
