Even though the characters file in /proc/speakup has all the function keys listed, if for example, I type f5 it will not say f5, instead it sends a beep and a letter such as A. Is their a way to configure either my shell or linux in general to announce these function keys without them passing through? I even went in bash, but it was no better. I like tcsh. I remember in Vocal-Eyes, it did seem to work correctly. Maybe when I get home I should see if DosEmu will announce these? Thanks so much in advance Hart
