Hello if you really want to hear a z as a z then you can edit the /proc/speakup/characters file and change the zehd to a z if you wish.. It does work I just tried it.. but to me it is not really a big deal.. It is still cool that you can modify it for any letter you wish.. ----- Patrick Turnage E-mail: pturnage at tampabay.rr.com AOL Instant Messenger: kg4dqk Home Page: http://www.access-connect.com Connecting the world to access technology information.
