It can be asked to load a set of user specific and synthesizer specific parameters upon a user login. But what I was after was not speakup parameters, but the underlying screen size, the number of columns and lines on the screen. I am assuming speakup would read the whole screen, whatever its size. >>From other posts though, accessing my system with ssh solves my original problem. i.e., how to avoid asking a remote user to use a magnifying glass to read my teeny tiny print . It turns out that it is the remote user's screen parameters, and not mine, that determine what he sees. -- The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (94% of Full) But you can still get downloads from http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh or you could Jabber me, using JID chuckh@hhs48.com
