Grant,
  I am not sure why you believe Vocal-Eyes can only read 24 lines.  Actually,
  Vocal-Eyes is capable of reading a screen that is 99 characters by
  99 rows.  It definetly can read all the standard 25 lines on the screen.
  I believe what you may be referring to is once you are in review, by
  default, Vocal-Eyes will limit your movements to the current window.  If
  your window was setup for 24 lines, than Vocal-Eyes would only allow
  you to read 24 lines.  You can at any time in review mode press F2 for
  the full screen or the current window.  Vocal-Eyes version 2.0 allows
  you to setup if you want to be confined to the current window or the
  full screen by default when you enter review mode.  Reguardles, you can
  press F2 to toggle to the other setting.

 GD> I like the way that Vocal-Eyes handles
 GD> Wordperfect.

Wait until you see version 2.0 work with WordPerfect.  The menus, spell checker,
thesuars, reveal codes and list files options all work great with NO user
intervention at all.  In fact, with the new autoloading ability, you don't
even have to load the voice environement.  Vocal-Eyes will do that for you
automatically.

 GD> A weakness of Vocal-eyes is its slowness
 GD> relative to the time it takes to get the configuration files
 GD> loaded and the application program working.

I would assume the problem lies in the batch file which is reloading Vocal-Eyes
to load the new voice environment.  With autoloading, I don't believe Vocal-Eyes
can be beet!

Regards,
  Doug
