Does this include IR-Signal J?

Also I am only sending one signal in my called event.

1.  I call the event
2.  The event executes ONE IR Signal and then returns
3.  A text item is set to 'speak'

-The text item is heard BEFORE the IR signal is sent.

I don't see how or why this should happen but it does.  Will the
autoexec.bat line below fix my problem?
