Hi all, Teddy, Terminal mode in Emacs is one of the things it doesn't do well, and its documentation is not good. Janina, can you help in this area? I find I use Speakup for terminal apps rather than Emacspeak because it is just so difficult. However, if Teddy is using a software synthe, he's going to have to learn about it. Ann P. P.S., I understand there's a lot of msgs here, and I've just started replying. I was AFK yesterday. A.P. -- Ann K.
