Hi
No real wordprocessor for hebrew, y have the folowing options

1. use dosemu under X with the hebvga fonts, and then run WP5.1 heb or
   qtext
2. use TeX-XeT, the hebrew extention to TeX, 
3. use a regular editor, y can use hpico, in plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il
	usr hebrew vim, a patch is available in sunsite
        at the  pub/Linux/apps/editors/vi directory.

you'll need one of the hebrew editors to use TeX-XeT anyway.

you'll have to set your X to display hebrew fonts, use hebxfonts-0.1.taz

hope this help
