- You are probably correct, I haven't been able to reproduce the environment
- which I thought enabled me to get speech. I had been using DOS for a
- different reason and it is the only environment which works for me
- at the moment. Sorry about the confusion. Anyone else have any
- suggestions? I would be happy to have a way gave me access to Ready
- For Letters (i.e gave the whole machine temporarily to this session)
- as long as I could get back to the WPS without a reboot. Would it
- be possible to trap Ctrl-Alt-Del just for particular "real DOS"
- sessions and revert back to WPS instead of rebooting?
-
- Paul.
