Okay, the command for changing capitals behaviour is: echo "cap " >/proc/speakup/caps_start echo "" >/proc/speakup/caps_stop As for fixing the pitch shift bug in buture speakup versions, I do not have any Braille 'n Speak products to experiment with. If you'd like to fix it I'll happily include the patches. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
