No, I'm afraid you misunderstand.

If you write 1 and then move to the right and write 2 and then move to
the right and write 3, you get:

		123

But if you write 3 and then move to the left and write 2 and then move
to the left and write 1, you get:

		123

There is no way for me to tell, unless I watch you do it, how you wrote
the digits.
