Use it like this: From the command line type perl console508.p and press ENTER. DESCRIPTION The console508.p Perl 5 program gives low vision users easy control of volume, fonts, and tone alarms indicating status of CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK, and SCROLL LOCK. Its functions are accessed through menus. - program is not self voicing but can be run from within an EMACSPEAK shell thus providing speech to anyone desiring it - where possible menus were worded such that the entire menu is on screen even if font is one of the large font choices - menus have a choice to exit program if reasonable - child menus have a choice to return to parent menu where reasonable - menus have a choice to repeat themselves for users depending on speech only - menu choices can be saved in favorites files LIMITATIONS Only the root user can use this program to change fonts, change volume, or set locktones. A non-root user can however use console508.p to change foregroundand background colors in the console (text only) mode. end ---------- Enjoy! --Hans
