Hi John, first of all, to ensure that the pitch and rate changes take effect when you echo values to /proc/speakup, you need to put a greater than sign in fromt of the path so the command should look like this. echo 7 >/proc/speakup/pitch and as for the rate the same thing applies. the accentsa directory under /proc/speakup is to do with settings specific to the synth and it's not a good idea unless you know what you're doing to go fiddling with those. as for the cursoring feature, u can toggle it on or off with the numpad star key. hth Shaun..
