(I'm not familiar enough with how Speakup and Ncurses work to try myself, but it seems a needless frustration to have to grapple with. After all, the spaces are technically still there.) Any thoughts? Thanks much for the help, Zack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "luke" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
