		+	=== Where do I get a portable version of the program? ===
		+	As of May 28, 2010, portable mode is supported by the main version of the program. You just need to create a directory named "portable" in the program's directory. This directory will then be used to store configuration and indices. Your dictionaries should be stored in the "content" directory, and morphologies in the "content/morphologies" directory. Sound directories aren't supported in portable mode.
		+
		+	Use a recent enough Git build to have this functionality.
