The sample attachment is a tar file. Howard, can you attach an HTML file?

Also, the term "bi-directional" indicates Hebrew or Arabic is involved, but I
don't think this is what you mean.

Aaron, I am sorry i can't get what you mean. Could you please explain it ?

Bi-directional here means that the carnet could travel backward at each situation.
Such as you encounter some content with down arrow and the same content with up
arrow.

Howard, the term bidirectional in Mozilla refers to right-to-left languages like
Hebrew and Arabic.
