This is strange, because this section of my code:

                         if ($line[$j] ne "--" && $line[$j] ne "__") {
                                 $line[$j]="\"\\\\R{$line[$j]}\"";
                         }

means: If a syllable (meaning one "word" surrounded by spaces) is not "--" or 
"__", revert it. They should not be handled using the \\R{--} syntax, or?

Can you send me your mahyedid.out.29 and mahyedid.lyr.29? I'll see what I can 
do.

I see that the first syllable is too far to the right and there is no space 
between the first two syllables? This sounds more like a problem for a 
TeXnician. I'm only a plain LaTeX user, not an expert. I'm good at Perl and 
C.

But we'll see when you send the .lyr and .out files.

All the best,
