William,
All right... This is likely to be my last posting on the subject...
... there has been much objection to my invention in this mailing list
over the years, with no good reason ever stated, ...
If this invention had been made in the research laboratory of a large
information technology company maybe things would be very different.
Please see attached image, for example. While it's not yet as fun as
Star Trek, this kind of thing can be done for simple interactions in a
variety of languages using a $20 cell phone...
