Does anyone out there have experience with foxplus and speech.  I just 
saw it the other day and it doesn't seem to talk any where near as good 
as dbase.  Perhaps this is because it writes directly to the screen, 
and, if so, can anyone tell me whether it can be made to talk through 
the bios and if so, how?
  TLhanks in advance.

Ted,  I have had limited experience with dbase and foxplus.  Our NEWSLINE for
the Blind "talking Newspaper" system uses foxplus.  Some of the stuff doesn't
talk, but when I edit records, etc. my speech seems to follow the arrow keys
fine, like with dbase.  I have not uwed either program extensively, though.
