FYI - help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org is perhaps a better mailing list for questions of this sort. I have no idea if this will help, but I just noticed it on Emacs Wiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/poor-mans-bidi.el. I believe there is more information on the wiki about using Emacs for bidirectional input (e.g. right-to-left), but they just changed the wiki search engine and it seems to no longer work well - doesn't find anything additional for "bidi" or "bidirectional" or "right-to-left". Wait a day or two, and perhaps they'll restore the previous search engine, which worked pretty well.
