Hi Luke,

one thing I forgot to add: we're in message freeze and will soon be in code 
freeze too. 
I guess your patch does contain translatable messages and that's why you 
should wait with your submit to cvs until after the 1.0 release. I should 
have told you before.

> Action: (continue)?" and I press return to contiune.  It then goes through
> all of the bibletime directories again and gives me a message like:
> "Checking in bibletime/tooltipdef.h;
> /cvsroot/bibletime/bibletime/bibletime/tooltipdef.h,v  <--  tooltipdef.h
> new revision: 1.16; previous revision: 1.15
> done
> cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/home/users/l/lu/lukeskyfly): No such

> cvs commit: saving log message in /tmp/cvsbFNAs8"  Even though I need to
> update several other files, including whatthisdef.h which is in the same
> directory as tooltipdef.h  I can redo the whole update/commit process but
> each time it only updates one file and that is very time-consuming since I
> need to change another 5 or 6 files and I only have a dialup connection.  
> I know there must be "something I am missing somewhere."  Can anyone please
