Hi: Another suggestion is that a few more examples could be included in the manual to illustrate how objects such as "activesettings.screen" object work. For example,
"speak activesettings.screen.formatalert" to tell you whether Formatalert is on or off and "activesettings.screen.formatalert = 1" to turn Formatalert on.
