That will tell speakup exactly where the synth is. I have seen this sort of thing happen also when writing floppies with rawrite if the synth under dos is left talking. Rawrite is a very timing dependant program. good luck. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk@braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
