RE: Add separate initial instruction text file to VIBS write-in section

[Mark S Earley <meglobal@earthlink.net>]

Glad to hear it.

Actually, this will allow me to get some
detailed initial instructions in,
without having them repeat throughout
the write-in session. This will be a big help, I hope. I am looking to
give a fairly detailed instructions set at first, then once a voter
presses a key to select a letter, the instructions would
revert to a brief version. The brief
version would be repeated then, throughout the rest of the write-in
session.
