Hi,

As I suspected, the [:vs] command made no difference. I'm sure it works 
on the DEC PC, but not the Express. Probably something that should be 
fixed with my patch is that it still lets you adjust the volume up and 
down, but it doesn't actually do anything. In other words, I can set the 
volume to whatever number and it will happily tell me that it has 
changed even though it doesn't actually do anything. I'm sure that will 
be a source of confusion later. This is my first attempt at modifying 
anything other than BASIC for public consumption, so I had no idea how 
to disable the volume announcement messages.
