RE: Add separate initial instruction text file to VIBS write-in section



Glad to hear it.

Actually, this will allow me to get some detailed initial instructions in, without having them repeat throughout the write-in session. This will be a big help, I hope. I am looking to give a fairly detailed instructions set at first, then once a voter presses a key to select a letter, the instructions would revert to a brief version. The brief version would be repeated then, throughout the rest of the write-in session.

Not too difficult.  It worked that way initially, and then we changed it to
just one instruction clip because it didn't seem worth it.  We can
concatenate a VIBS_WI_Welcome with VIBS_WI_Instuctions at the beginning.
That is, until the user presses their first key.  Only VIBS_WI_Instructions
would repeat after that.  This is analogous to the main VIBS welcome and
instructions.

I have to ask though, what would this script actually say?  "Welcome to the
audio ballot write-in entry"???  Are you sure that is worth the breath?
