I disagree that the terminology should be changed to more common words. In any profession a series of terms evolves that allows succinct and accurate communication. Learning the terminology is a necessary step to proficiency. To reduce the learning curve there should be some sort of help menu item that will access terms and definitions. If gaf has terms that are different from standard industry terms (I am not sure if does) we probably should change them. (* jcl *) -- http://www.luciani.org
