This is a clearer explanation of what I proposed in my last post.  
Had I read this digest earlier I wouldn't have made my statement.  
However, having now tried this several times, it seems that it makes 
a difference which arm I point with.  When I point with my left arm 
the eye that dominates is the left eye, and vice versa for the right. 
I think the eye that can sight along the arm directly gets selected. 
Not always, but most of the time.  

The tie-breaker was the method proposed by (whom? was it George?) 
involving reading with relaxed eyes.  That method was decisive.  I 
find that I'm left eyed and right handed.
