[PD] Need Help Understanding pack

[András Murányi]

I had a friend who time to time had to call people on the phone and have
them explain where is right and where is left, and then she soon forgot it
again. It's not a brain damage, but a neurological thing.
I suggest that [trigger] help feature an image of an arrow (<---) to
reinforce the idea of "right to left".
