Is there a way to disable a specific plugin? Perhaps by just deleting
its directory? And also do you happen to know the default directory
for plugins? When I click "Add plugin", it opens my home directory,
which, as far as I can tell, does not have AbiWord plugins in it (only
my profile is in .AbiSuite), though I've read that, at least at one
time, it opened the default directory.

Haha, alright -- I guess if the functionality is there, I shouldn't
worry about it.

Thank you very much!
