    Thank to helping remarks from FJ Franklin, Dom Lachowicz, Andrew Dunbar !!

    It seems that the original problem of ltr/rtl can be solved:
    In addition to /usr/share/AbiSuite/bin/AbiWord make a similar
    script `AbiWord-heb' which starts with the lines
            LANG=he_IL.ISO-8859-8
            export LANG
    In /usr/share/AbiSuite/AbiWord make a file `system.profile-he-IL'
    which contains
    <SystemDefaults
        DocumentLocale="he_IL.ISO-8859-8"
        DefaultDirectionRtl="1"
    />
    Now AbiWord runs a ltr version, AbiWord-heb (or a link to it) runs a rtl
    one.

    Still, it would be nice to run simultaneously two copies of AW with
    different profiles unrelated to language question (for example, one with
    green background and one with red...)
