You can also use GNU screen, which gives you multiplexed virtual consoles as well. I don't know how well speakup deals with it, but once you have it installed (apt-get install screen for Debian users; grab the appropriate RPM from rpmfind.net or your CDs for RPM-based distros; check www.gnu.org for source), you can run your apps inside screen sessions and do cut/paste/scrollback with the keyboard. It also allows you to detach and resume sessions. Very useful piece of software. =) -- Sacha Chua - 4 BS CS Ateneo geekette interests: emacs, gnu/linux, wearables, teaching compsci
