Mark,

First and foremost, thanks for the fix with TTS and phone calls, it works
great.  Secondly I have two new problems for you.  Create an item such as
this:

|Item:MSG: Shutting down        Type:Text
Acc:User/User
|	Initial State:(none)                                    Backup:No
|	Text         :\vol=22000\ Shutting down the house now. \vol=65000\

Note that you *want* the vol parameters in this.  When you "speak" this
message you receive the error: Error: AVIFO:FILEREAD (ITM_DLG_PRC)

Secondly I have a problem playing phone messages.  I play messages by
setting an appliance type item to "on."  When my event sees that this item
is "on" it sets my speak-messages (named "Play Messages") item to "play."
The event looks like this:

|Event:	Play Ph. Ms. Local              Called ?:No
|	;This event will play all or new messages over the speakers.
|
|
|	If         Phone: Play All     Is         Off
|	And        Phone: Play New     Is         Off
|	Then       ECS: Event exit     Set        True
|
|	BEGINIF    Phone: Play All     Is Now     On
|	Then       Play messages       Set        Play->VC
|	Then       Phone: Play All     Set        Off
|	ENDIF

ECS will "speak" the text messages within ecs.log but it does NOT play any
phone messages.  To play phone messages I must open the message log and
click on the phone message.
