Chris,

Sigh!

It so happens I am using the "Tablar" theme, and already made the changes you 
suggested.  But it was still necessary to edit gnump3d, gnump3d-index, and 
gnump3d-top to change the "hard-coded" titles they print out from "Song(s)" to 
"Messages(s)".  If you don't edit these files the statistics and directory 
listings contain an inconsistent mix of Song/Message titles.  Would be nice if 
the themes and/or config file consitently carried the titles throught the web 
page dished out by gnump3d.

Having said all this, the number of occurances of the title "Song(s)" in these 
modules was small, so it seems like it would be relatively easy to put these 
title strings as parameters in the gnump3d.conf config file or theme files.  
(Yeah, easy for me to say ;-)).

The obvious problem I now face is having to re-edit everything the next time I 
upgrade!

Sigh, sigh!
