You know, it's funny, but I don't really notice a problem with the H, but
just now, trying to see how I do it, I had a devil of a time getting a
proper H. I tried my normal method, of writing it in three strokes, and that
was the most successful, but when I tried the single-stroke method, it
absolutely failed. I think it works normally when it is part of a word, but
writing it by itself seems to be where it fails. I wonder if this is an area
where alt.rec... Works??? Paul?
