Dear All,

  immediately upon entering the setup command lrcfg 
  of Bering, I encounter the two options

    c) Configuration changed since last save,
    d) Configuration changed from distribution.

  I do not think they are phrased well enough, simply
  because I misunderstood their meaning the first 
  time. As they stand written I thought they would 
  contain some action to physically store my settings
  on diskette, in addition to do some checking.
  Instead they are purely diagnostic tools, which I
  learnt with time. Therefore it should be better to 
  phrase the wording in a way that clearly display
  them to be supporting function to determine whether
  the present configuration ought indeed be saved
  using the action "s) Save config".
 
  I could think of many ways to achieve this. One
  way would be to use a question. Two suggestions
  out of a sleave are

     "Did configuration change since last save?"
  and
     "Check if configuration changed since last save."

  These are not optimal, but they would have prevented
  my misunderstanding. Of course my remarks are only
  nitpicking. I have used Bering LEAF for less than
  a week by now, but I am so pleased with it that I
  do care that its use be eased and cleansed of all
  pitfalls I can find.

  While writing this I realise that had the two
  commands contained "changes" instead of "changed",
  but otherwise identical, I would have understood
  their meaning correctly. It is the use of an  
  inflected verb that did upset my understanding.

           Best regards
                         Mats E Andersson
