I want you to understand that I'm doing my very best to be patient with you. But, you're not providing any answers that I can understand. I don't think you intend to be unhelpful, I think quite the opposite. However, you are, in effect, being something you don't intend to be. Your answer to the frames question below is an excellent example. Ryan asked you what frames have to do with alsa-tools. He explicitly stated that frames are something to do with web browsers as he understands the term. So, if you come back and start talking about what speakup does or doesn't do about frames, you haven't answered his question. In order to answer it, you need first to provide a definition. What kind of frame are you talking about? What is it? How is it used? What applications work with it? What is the difference between the way things were, and the way they are after your code was introduced. You may know these answers, but you shouldn't go around assuming that everyone else has that knowledge in their heads. People are all different. We all have very different things in each of our heads. Some of us may be very technically capable with computers and still not have a clue of what you're talking about. I guess I resemble that last remark of mine. kevin writes: > From: "kevin" <kjsisco at rcn.com> > > The frameviewer allows frames to be more easily recognized in speakup > because let's be honist.
