The file should contain samples, at least it has on       my 42.3 box. And in the comments, it says "This overwrites the system       default set in /etc/sysconfig/language in the variable RC_LANG", so here       you have another file to look at ;)              Werner       --              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
