I have been keeping my preferred settings for the several synths I use from time to time in just this manner. This has proven very useful particularly on my Thinkpad, where I am most likely to use a variety of synths. I set an alias that allows me to restore these settings whenever I wish. Thanks to Saqib for pointing me to the following cool code snipet to do this: cp -r /etc/speakup/`cat /proc/speakup/synth`/* /proc/speakup
