Re: [orca-list] So close to converting, but I have some specific questions

["Chris Gilland" <cgilland1 carolina rr com>]

OK, this is wonderful Jose!  This is precisely! what we need!  Now, the
question is, if I ssh into his system, like I've been doing to help him,
where do I need to go to find this .py file, and edit it.  Then once done,
how then do I recompile and reinstall?

I'd imagine it isn't as symple as just editting that .py file.  I'd think
that would be the higher level code, but then you'd have to use an
interpretor to recompile.

Chris.
