Yea cause I have had some questions about it from others. I guess since
I speak another language it does not bother me, I mean all I do is cut and
past into the google translator if I can not figure it out... But not

Yes I agree there. You see some of them that start up and step through the

change or delete it, and you answer appropriately. If it is done right
it does the
changes and you are back up and running when you restart the app.
