Hi David, The only way to make RTL \halign in TeX-XeT is to do a construct like \hbox{\beginR\vbox{% \halign material }\endR} The parsitex change file (http://ctan.org/pkg/parsitex) which is also based on Knuth TeX-XeT implements a \semihalign primitive that has the reverse order column of \halign.
