I am forwarding this inquiry, since it seems certain that someone
on this net will know the answer. I, too, would be very interested
in the answer. Thanks! - Jane Edwards (edwards@cogsci.berkeley.edu)

Subject: Foreign Language Keyboards

Having failed to register recent discussions about foreign language
keyboards, I now have a specific query. Can anyone offer information
or reference books etc giving detailed instruction about how to write a
program to enable two keyboards/foreign language character sets (eg
English/Russian) to be resident in memory, so that the user can easily
switch from one to the other? Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Subject: Query

A non-HUMANIST colleague has asked me to inquire on this forum if
anyone has heard of research into phonetic transcription to sound
via computer, or knows of a chip or software that could do this job.
Any information at all would be appreciated. I will pass on all
replies.

Subject: tree of life


Can anyone tell me about the tree of life in Jewish mystic tradition? I
believe it is something called the Sephirotic, or something like that.
Some of the markings on it are BINAH and HIZAH. I am also interested in
Jewish Mysticism in general. Can anyone help point me in the right
direction for this?

tations for VAX/VMS. Thank You.
