there is no response to ctrl-alt-o.
I really don't understand my yasr.conf. For example, it says:
[normalkeys]
0xc:say line
0x1b6c:say line
and Ctrl-L does indeed say the line :-), but Alt-l does not.
And this 0x1b6c does not mean Alt-l anyway, it means Escape l !
But Escape l doesn't say the line either. If I put in
0x1b4f50: say line
which should mean Func_1, then yasr doesn't respond to Func_1
This is the most fundamental of my many yasr problems.

This one, at least, I have solved :-)
In ~/.Xdefaults I can redfine KP_Up, KP_Insert etc, eg:
XTerm.vt100.translations: #override \n \
<Key>KP_Left: string(0x1B) string("[1;5S")

When I use
synthesizer=Emacspeak server
synthesizer port=|/usr/bin/espeak
and
[Emacspeak server]
rate=175
punctuation=some
then in addition to the text it speaks a whole load of rubbish like
set rate 175 punctuation some Q
at the start of the line, and even if I comment those lines out of yasr.conf,
it speaks a Q at the beginning of the line and a B at the end.
I guess Emacspeak still thinks it's talking to eflite.
I can also edit /etc/emacspeak.conf
DTK_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/espeak
DTK_DEVICE="Soundcard with espeak"
but that changes nothing.
In /etc/init.d/ there is no emacspeak daemon that needs restarting.
If I were running emacspeak from the command line,
there would be a -e option,
but how can I get ~/.yasr.conf to do the same ?
