Re: [orca-list] twitter from Linux

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

I am very glad to hear this plug-in is now working. 
I tied it back when I tried all that werwe available, and it did connect, but only once after configuration 
of the account. 
I will test on my arch box today, and if it works will put it on the Vinux and Debian ones soon.
Does the pulg in come with a manpage?
If not, or if you feel like teaching us anyway, what all can you do, i.e. RT and reply I am almost positive, 
but anything else? Can you send DMs? 
Can you open urls from with in the plug-in, i.e. call a browser?
Thanks again for the good news.
