Re: Orca Thoughts on whereAmI: Quantity of Information

[Krister Ekstrom <krister kristersplace ws>]

Hi Henrik,
Why make it harder and more complicated than it needs to be? It's good
with choises, but for that, we could add a user dictionary operated from
a dialog box with a read-only edit box  with the word the user selected,
maybe from a list box with Orca prompts and a text box where user could
type a replacement word. No need to search for config files with cryptic
names in strange locations.
