I think such request merely indicate the need for more complete
documentation. Documentation (and you are doing a good job, but it should
not be needed, Evermind should do it for us) is the greatest weakness Orion
has (not counting the bugs Swing causes in the tools, these are generic to
Java applications using Swing).
I like Orion, but without docs, I could never sell people on it (the people
who need to set up and maintain it are not programmers, they are Unix and NT
sysadmins... And at the price, it is difficult to get management people
convinced anyway (the expensive == good syndrome is very strong here).
