Well, Greg, as for Dosemu, I notice the same exact behavior in speakup as I do when running a dos prompt in JFW. It seems to read most of the screen over again, not just the newest action or prompt. Example would be in Jaws, if I am in an ftp session--and begin a download, it would read earlier commands such as binary and bell commands. I honestly don't reember which command I tried while in dosemu with speakup, but I think it was dir /w or slash b. Hart
