Thanks for the list Seppo. When you're looking up a Hebrew lemma, unfortunately you DO have to worry about the final forms of the letters or you'll end up scrolling a lot. Try looking up h-l-k without using the final form. I'm always forgetting how to enter the final forms, since I use a different keyboard for non-Paratext Hebrew. So, how do you do it?
