Re: ENHANCEMENT-REQUEST: save session

Hi Juan,

In the wish WED061, Amaya will not restart automatically but simply
display a dialogue box, just like Open Office does when you modify: Tools
-> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages -> Language Interface

As you may understand, it is far easier to do than a "save session"
feature, that's why I added it to the wish list without waiting for
Irène's approval.

PS (for everybody on this list with pending question/bug/request):  Irène
will be back next week.
