There is a whole phoneme system for Mac voices in speech manager. I
didn't get into it in my message as it requires knowing a whole new
markup system. Cepstral's lexican files are a much better approach to
this.

Your right any text inside the "double square bracket" stuff

Believe it or not, I've actually run into this problem. Thanks to
you, I now understand something that was utterly baffling me. I
*had* a bunch of text files from back in my old linux/emacspeak
days that *used* double square brackets as the start and end of
markup. I had abbsolutely no idea why they were so hard to look at
until now, <grin>.
Gosh, this is taking me back a very long way into my computing
past. Way back when, I used to use a computer called a Eureka a4.
Back then, if you typed an exclamation mark followed by a percent
sign you could get the machine to do all kinds of stuff. Play
sounds, increase/decrease speed, make weird clicking noises and,
most bizarely, make the thing speak in phonetics until you sent the
command to stop it.. At least I *think* that was the prefix. It
*was* a lot of years ago.
