Re: [orca-list] punctuation editor?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Yes, I think this is a very good idea, and I'm happy to hear it's on the to do list.
Many people prefer an alternative name for one or more of the punctuation characters, e.g. hash number or 
number sign, exclamation, bang, etc., and the 
& sign are just a few that come to mind.
