Re: New here - intro and questions

Luma,
As far as changing the 'Welcome' text!

I was asked to do that for the 'Confirmation' message. I found the text 
of those messages to be in the 'majordomo.pl' - Perl Script. It is not 
as easy as some folks might think, when they ask for a text change, but 
it can be done.

Bear in mind that the text is generated sometimes in pieces (as the 
program runs) and also different text is generated for different options 
chosen.

Good Luck!
