John,
Your suggestion worked very well. Arabic words and letters now
read from right to left. However, the letters all appear as separate
letters rather than connected as they should be. Is there any way to
correct that?

Joseph,
I have here Vafa Khalighi's documentation for his bidi package.
It has a section on using his bidi package with plain TeX. He says the
bidi package is loaded with the command \input bidi, but that command
doesn't work (at least with my 2009 version of TeX Live) because xetex

Dear Yves,
\righthyphenmin of 3 seems good. As for left, can't cases like pa-ta-ti be
dealt with in an auxiliary \hyphenation{} list? In my view, though, neither
pi-bati nor pa-tati look very good.
Best,

As a new (and delighted!) user of XeTeX, I'd suggest using xelatex
because if you ever want or need to change to LaTeX the change would be
easier.
It is also possible that I don't know enough about XeTeX to make such a
statement; It's based on about a week's experience.
