Thanks for the info. I tend to still use /usr/local to indicate which software I have installed as opposed to which software was installed by packages. It's a personal preference. Thanks for the direct command, I didn't know that. Now I can play with my doubletalk more. Any way to send an exception dictionary to the synth for example, to speak spanish? I don't speak spanish, but it's fun to play with it.
