What happens is if you cat the values from a saved place such as is done with speakupconf, I get a slew of errors saying "cat: argument invalid" and the targets end up empty so what happens in my case is the punc_most chars get completely whiped out. I also get this error if I try and cat that variable by hand so the script is ok here. Also, when I do a speakupconf save I get the errors I'll show below. I'm using spkout as the synth of choice.
