        Since you only require simple editing commands and printing ability, I
would recommend that you aquire a copy of Apple's Hebrew Operating System (if   
it is publicly available (Jordan??)) and use the built in Hebrew Text Entry 
support with your favorite Word Processor.  Note, however, that many of the
newer word processors (FWP, Word Perfect, Word 3.0) do not support the Script
Manager (the thing that makes the Hebrew System possible) and you may find
problems there.  MacWrite 4.5/4.6 does an admirable job here.                 
        The Hebrew System also includes 2 LaserWriter fonts, and about 4 other 
bit mapped fonts so that you have your choice of type (script, biblical-type,   
etc.)                                   
        Hope this helps.
