Hi  Folks!

Wow - a busy day here on the list.  Everyone must be working on their
systems this weekend.  :)

Don (and Carl),

Just to make sure we're all thinking the same thing here, TTS' arguments are
entered from the command line as, Mark suggested, when starting TTS.  TTS'
control tags, (to change speed, volume,  pause, etc.) are "spoken".  Carl, I
was unsure whether you were asking about arguments or control tags.

Cheers!

Carl:
 Try setting a text state to speak, like
 Do   \VOL=XXXX\   Set  Speak

Michael David clued me into that little trick.

Mark:
 I'll get back to you with some more concise reporting concerning REDAC

Thanks;
Don
