[sword-devel] More VBA Help Wanted

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Got the encoding information, I think :)

I'm probably going to be scarce until after Tuesday, but wanted to get

Hebrew glyph description (which we should be able to find in a Unicode 
table somewhere, if someone wants to update that document with a new 
column containing the Hebrew Unicode value.
