[i'm assuming you mean from rtl to ltr here?]

that would depend on which version of biditext you're using. if you're
using the old biditext, i really dont know.

if you're using the latest "experimental" biditext, part of haifux' r2l
project, you can use the set of 'r2l' tools which include a gnome panel
applet and a command line utitlity to do it.

the latest biditext is available at
http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~mulix/r2l/biditext-0.9.6.tar.gz

the latest r2llib, which it requires, is available at
http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~mulix/r2l/r2llib-0.34.tar.gz

r2llib includes a small utility called (how unsurprisingly) 'r2l', which
is a command line utility to set the direction of the text (ltr to rtl)
and the base direction.

it also requires fribidi, which is available from sourceforge.

tzafrir, where is the canonical distribution site for everything else?
http://linuxclub.il.eu.org/R2L/index.html looks rather out of date.
