Description George Staikos 2004-11-07 19:40:49 UTC

The Opening Document and Reading Document strings are very confusing.  Most 
people see those as synonyms, and they are completely indescriptive.  We 
should be a bit more fine-grained, and more descriptive.

Comment 1 Andrew Walker 2004-11-08 01:04:02 UTC

My suspiscion is that if we try be more fine-grained we would, in many circumstances, simply end up with messages displaying so quickly in successions that none of them would be readable. 

My preference would be to leave this as is.

   These documents we're working with take 10 minutes or more to load on a 
very fast machine.  We need more feedback.
