You are right, it is intended for visual Hebrew. But you can use 
some functions included in this package for your purposes:

`invert-string'    "Invert STRING (right-left) of any length"
and its derivatives: `invert-line' `invert-all-lines'

`winvert-string'   "Invert STRING (right-left for Hebrew MS Windows) of any
length. The steps taken are according to Unicode TR9 (implicit bidi)
Optional NO-REP - do not replace with value from `hebrew-english-bidi-rep'.
Optional Sspc   - change Shift Space (0xA0) to space (0x20)
Assume reading direction according to `right2left-on': nil-L2R else R2L."
and its derivatives: `winvert-line' `winvert-all-lines'

`winvert-encode-string'
"Invert STRING (encode it for Hebrew MS Windows) of any length.
use the LTR (0xFD) for forcing break of Hebrew (R2L) substring.
Assume reading direction according to `right2left-on': nil-L2R else R2L."
and its derivatives: `winvert-encode-line' `winvert-encode-all-lines'

This version of hebeng.el works with mule (emacs 21).

Ehud.
