I am speaking text files extensively and they seem to be working

My insert and delete are also working properly

And even though ECS is doing exactly what was advertised ( TTS
concurrently ) speech takes up time and ECS has already answered the phone
before the Speech has really got started.  In my case it was at shutdown the
System would cut off the message I had play on exit and shutdown.  This can
be corrected with a pause xx.
But if it can be done without too much trouble it would be nice to have a
Speak->VC/W command.

Also (some where in the future) it might be nice to have pages take place
concurrent with program execution.

 << File: karate.txt >> Mark,

As far as the text reading goes:  The lines below are for a text type item
in my ecs.cfg.  I have also included the text file (if you really want to
play <g>).  Create this text item in your ecs.cfg.  Click on (in the item
editor window) "Speak."  ECS will speak the line @C:\ecs\karate.txt rather
than reading the karate.txt file. This works fine in the "old" version of
ECS (4.0.025 I think).

|Item:MSG: Karate               Type:Text
Acc:User/Maint
|	Initial State:(none)                                    Backup:No
|	Text         :@c:\ecs\karate.txt

Now, the phone event problem.  I *do* have the item set to Speak-VC.  Here
is a snippet from my ecs.cfg

|	If         		Caller-ID-C         		Is         9001
|	Then      	MSG: Superior Paint 		Set       Speak-VC
|	Then       	Phone: Answ. paint  		Set       Answer

ECS *should* speak the message first THEN answer the phone.  I get the
opposite.  Again, this has only become an issue with the beta version.  The
text file item is:

|Item:MSG: Superior Paint       Type:Text
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(None)                                    Backup:No
|	Text         :Do not answer the phone.  It's Superior Painters.

Finally the cursor insertion point issue.  Open any event in your event
editor.  Place the cursor anyplace on any line in the event (don't make it
the first line).  Click the mouse button to make your insertion point.  The
insertion point will be placed at the beginning of line #1 NOT where you
have pointed the mouse/cursor.  Now place the cursor anyplace on any line.
Click the mouse button to make your insertion point.  This time it should
work just fine.  Subsequent insertions will also work.  Close the event
editor, reopen the event editor and try this all again. This time it may or
may not work.  This is NOT a 100% problem.  It happens probably 80% of the
time when I first enter the event editor.  If this doesn't make sense I can
give you a call.
