You can download the updated
gli/src/org/greenstone/gatherer/file/FileManager.java file from
http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~mdewsnip/greenstone/temp-2.71/FileManager.java

You will need to recompile the GLI and remake the GLI applet to include
this change.

You can change this string in the gli/classes/dictionary.properties file.
