Looks like an interesting program; it's downloading even as I type.  
Thanks for the tip.  I should also mention that Silver Mountain 
Software's SilverFonts package, which contains some nice Hebrew 
and Greek fonts, includes a little Windows utility called R2L.  This 
program uses Windows DDE calls to let you enter Hebrew right-to-
left, then with one click paste it into your application.  It's a variant 
on the old DOS tsr programs, because when you start it up it 
minimizes itself.  You open your word processor, HTML editor or 
whatever, and when you want to enter Hebrew you hit CTRL-SHIFT-
H and R2L pops up.  You type your Hebrew right to left, hit the 
"send" menu item and what you typed appears in the program you 
were working with.  A great utility, I've gotten a lot of mileage out of 
it over the past few years.  It's shareware so it's freely 
downloadable.  Plus, it works with any Hebrew font, not just 
Silver's.  Registration is something on the order of $10, which is dirt 
cheap for this kind of functionality.

I gather you've used the EasyHeb programs; could you give us a 
short review?
