[ale] here's one for the script wizards

[Asher Vilensky]

Thanks, everybody, for your help.  Geoffrey gets the ice cream.  ;-)

Here's something interesting I didn't mention up front (intentionally):  the
input file is in  Hebrew (right-to-left).  The text appears in the correct
orientation in a browser.  However, when I copied it into a  Linux file (or
just the terminal), it "changed" orientation:  it was still Hebrew, but
left-to-right.  I processed the input and pasted the results back to a web
form and wallah!!  it was right-to-left again.  (in reality I don't think it
ever changed orientation.  it's only that I didn't configure the xterm to
"speak" Hebrew.  It treated it all as binary bits.)
