- I suspect this is because the languages are set in cellular tables
- using the (now obsolete in NB4) MD mode commands. Language is changed
- in Lingua using LA deltas. You might want to try changing them
- manually--for example search for the MDHN normal Hebrew sequence and
- replace it with a simple LA4 sequence. Note that this may be in a SS
- delta rather than in a simple command delta of its own!
