Hi Kevin,
I was thinking - "-" instead of "_" is not good for people who use
Pythonaand perl scritps either -
so what if the PDB browser in the GIMP would have a drop down list,
for one to pick the up the languyage taht suits oneself best, and
then display it as apropriate ("-" for script-fu /tiny-fu
developers, "_"for python, no "GIMP_" prefix for either) ?
