List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: If more items (namely those needed to describe frames) were added to the "/proc/speakup" tree, you could define some frames, and save the new "/proc/speakup" values somewhere. Perhaps, there could even be a little utility that takes these values and turns them into a file, say "/etc/speakup.conf", that yould load during bootup, or in "/etc/profile", or whatever. -Dave On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, Gregory Nowak wrote: > > Maybe, if someone is going to sit down and code them. > Greg > > On Wed, Jan 09, 2002 at 06:55:36PM -0600, Adam Myrow wrote: > > Here are two things I would like to see some future version of Speakup be > > able to do.
