Subject: Re: Kubuntu problems Sorry, I forgot to mention, that I also put my start-speakup script in /etc/rc.local. I took the numbers for the rate, punc_level and reading_punc values from the command line ($1, $2, and $3). An example of this is: cd /proc/speakup echo "$1" > rate I envoce start-speakup like this: start-speakup 9 4 4 Where 9 is the rate, and 4 and 4 are the values for punc_level and reading_punc respectively. If you want me to post this script I will, not a problem. Take care, Chris Norman ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Norman" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
