Well, package.use was my mistake, I suppose. I could've sworn that when I sent the message out I double checked it...But evidently not. You're quite right. I'm glad you've succeeded at getting speech. As an aside to that, if you want control over punctuation modes with Espeak, you'll want to edit the speechd-up boot script, in the start function is a line that calls 'start-stop-daemon'. Just find the part of that after the call to speechd-up itself, and add the -t option. Lowercase t. That'll give you full punctuation support. Other than that, I was wondering the same thing about your four cursoring options. Puzzled me a lot, it did. Hope you get an answer soon.

Just as a correction, the file to which we need to echo the keywords is package.keywords, not package.use. I've read a little about this, and now I succeeded to get speech. I have other questions that I'll post on other threads. Anyways, thanks again. Cleverson "Be realistic; ask for the impossible." _______________________________________________________ Yahoo!
