I notice if I use any of the f1-f12 keys, they just beep-and-send capital E or something like that to the screen. The characters file has all of them listed. I think in both DOS-and-windows they will talk. Is their a way to modify my tcsh shell or something simple in speakup so these keys will really speak their name? I even tried inside DosEmu but no difference. Thanks so much in advance Hart
