Re: saving rate

[Igor Gueths <igueths@attbi.com>]

Hi Janina. I know this might be stupid, but I would think you leave the
quotes in in this case? Normally I wouldn't be asking this, but judging
from the fact that its a script we're talking about, do the quotes serve
as identifiers to the command itself, and the ` just means a next-command
type function? Based on your alias command, I have derived the following.
Note: Going to leave in quotes for now, bug please correct if wrong.

alias s="echo 350 >/proc/speakup/rate"

	In Theory, I would think that the above command aliased to s would
reset the rate back to 350. The reason I left out copying the values to
/etc is because I don't have more than one synth (it could be different in
your case), so I figured I'd just leave it in /proc/speakup.
