Excellent! The 4-letter codes are actually airport codes, for airports located in those towns/cities, used heavily by airplane onboard navigational aids. Surprised to find them trickling this far. Any flight simmers out there :-).

I could not get a Ugandan weather summary. If you to to Tools ---> Settings --> Summary Preferences --> Weather You can choose Africa and have only South Africa (south of the sahara as a choice). After some googling I found there is file (which in SuSE is in) /opt/gnome2/share/evolution/1.4/Locations Edit this file and add your cities. The trick is to get the 4 letter code for your city. I found a web page that gave the 4 letter code as the ending of the web page http://weatherpixie.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=6b72da40ce24826032e5f0108226a4e0&htm=0&type=&trooper=1&lang=®ion=1&country=Uganda&place=HUEN So for Entebbe the code is HUEN for Arua the code is HUAR for Nairobi the code is HKJK So go down the Location file until you find Morocoo, then do a cut and paste and replace with the relevant cities you want. make a backup of "Locations" before you edit so if you screw up you can backtrack. Now I have a huge set of cities. Will see over the next few days if it tells as much truth as our local weather guys.
