[orca-list] special characters

[<aerospace1028 hotmail com>]

	greetings all,
While poking around the python modules related to orca, I found the chnames.py file (located at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/orca/chnames.py).  I am wondering what is the recommended method for altering the chnames array.  For example, in the chnames file I found:

chnames[u'\u2013'] = _("en dash")

My personal preffrence is for "short dash" instead of "en dash."  Also the chnames.py file does not have an entry for U+2014 (typically designated "em dash" or what I like to call "long dash").

Is there a way to modify the names orca gives to unicode characters (prefferably in the orca-customizations.py file)?  I realize I could manually edit the chnames.py file, but I was saving that for a last resort.

Thank you:-)
