Lloyd,
    You're explanation of ANSI.SYS repositioning the cursor with a cr
might not have resolved Walter's pronounciation problem, but it may have
explained something I've noticed with the 3.02 Xpress reader!

     Apparantly somewhere along the line <Hec> lost the built in
Vocal_Eyes interface, and unlike with the 3.01 reader which I have gone
back to using, the 3.02 often combines the last word of a line with the
first word of the next in its pronounciation.  For some reason I think
this may be related to what you said, and hope it's fixed in the new
version.

     In other words, all of you using Xpress with speech, I suggest you
stick with the 3.01 version and don't bother updating to 3.02, for
although in general it is still extremely speech friendly, this one
little bug can be a tad annoying.
                                        Willie
