I'm reluctant to modify instructions for an operating system and
application which I have never used.

Mats, feel free to modify this paragraph/sentence/whatever as needed.
Trevor, feel free to propose exact new text.  Till, if you use Windows,

Whoever responds first will get their change implemented.
