Well, I thought you might have found my problem, but I just exited
out of msged, and remed out the ansi.sys file, and I rebooted, and
while jaws did not work right without the ansi.sys loaded, it did
not make any difference in the pronounciation problem with Downey.
I ws luckey enough to have a message to him, and Downey was being
mispronounced, so I checked it out without the ansi.sys, and it
still pronounced it like down nigh, and it should be pronouncing it
as down knee.
