RE: Add separate initial instruction text file to VIBS write-in section
That should work fine. It may be a little redundant in the initial stage,
but that should not be a real prob if I structure the text with this in
mind.
Text to follow soon.

Okay, but
understand that what I am proposing to play both
VIBS_WI_Welcome and VIBS_WI_Instuctions at the beginning, rather
than instead of. Its just more consistent with the
way the main instructions work. One real problem with doing the
instead of approach is backward compatibility. Setups with
old TSText will continue to work fine if we play both -- they'll just not
have the greeting/elaboration. I would prefer to do it that way if
it works for you.
Can you work inside this framework? If
VIBS_WI_Instuctions is a synopsis of VIBS_WI_Welcome, it might be a bit
redundant playing them both the beginning. Please post the script
you had in mind. I need something to put into our TSText package at
least initially.

- 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.

- That is, until the user presses their first key. Only
VIBS_WI_Instructions

welcome and

- I have to ask though, what would this script actually say?
"Welcome to the

the breath?
