Hi, Walter:
Don't know whether this will help or not. You may loose speech when using
these characters in the dictionary.
Accented letters are high ascii characters, i.e. 128 through 154. Remember
all five vowels can have accents -- acute, grave, circumflex, umlaut, etc.
Some vowels may be lower case and some may be upper case. For example, lower
case e-acute is ascii 130. E-acute upper case is ascii 144.
We don't know either whether the dectalk problem is caused by e-acute alone
or some or all of the ascii characters above 127.
Perhaps one our programmer geeks could find a way of blocking all of these
characters -- replace any ascii value between 128 and 154 witha space ascii
032.
This may be something to consider anyway.
Finally, what does all this mean for the folks who want to read in braille
or aloud a foreign language. In this connection, what happens in Europe with
dectalk? Do no French men or women use dectalk? Just a thought.
Regards,
Richard Hutcheson
