Call me stupid!!!!! Just checked the braille against what I had in the e-mail message, and I mis-brailled. Once I entered it as on the e-mail message: voilla! It worked; some complaints from"mplayer" but I got the sound. Then, when I went back into my other console, after quitting the radio station session with "mplayer" I could just continue in the "stallman" speech I had on pause! Amazing! Even with the hills and valleys, this Linux thing is looking more and more adictive. I've been playing with chapter II of the "introduction to linux" which I downloaded, and haven't managed to break anything yet. (grin) Nick
