AAAAAAARG!!!! I can't figure this out to save my life. There seems to be a bug somewhere, but I can't track it down. I've looked at the source code for the dectalk speakup driver, and it looks like the [:pe -300] command is what gets rid of the punctuation delay. However, it only works the first time the computer is booted. The same command is in the reinitstring constant. However, if used after the computer is booted, dectalk takes the -380 as positive instead of negative. I have tried it also with the flush character, but to no avail. Maybe someone can help me figure out the problem. Thsnks, Lorenzo Most people can't understand how others can blow their noses differently than they do. -- Turgenev
