Batch scripts to change a few values in Abiword.Profile methinks
there might be a better way but i dunno, it might be worth adding an RFE
(Request for Enhancement) to Bugzilla. http://bugzilla.abisource.com
 (warning, DNS for the link may not have updated yet).

I asked before about having a way to change the language of the inteface
(as opposed to the document) from within the program instead of having
to edit the Abiword.Profile every time, but it was really hard to
convince him that it was actually useful. I think you have explained it
well.

Sincerely
Alan
