Sarah,
Did you get it to work? Note there are two special characters in the
command, these are important to get right...
1. There is a "pipe" or "OR bar" as some might call it, (In US
keyboards it is a shifted back slash). This was between say and open.
This command is used in terminal to say send all the output from the
left side into the right side. (I hope that simplification makes
sense.
2. A minus sign in front of the f. the minus sign makes the f an
option instead of a file name argument.
HTH
Best wishes,
Jon

It is more likely that I didn't write the command correcI will test my
command with a cut and paste from home to ensure Iformatted it
correctly. It should'nt take more then 3 seconds.

Hmm how long does this process of manual creation last? I waited about 1
to
2 minutes and text edit did not open with the manual for the say command.
Take care. Maybe I'm not patient enough.

I was playing around with making fun of "droid" adds. So I created a
sound
file...
say -o droiddead.aiff -v cello "droid. is. dead. Long live I Phone"
I thought hmm, I should be able to open this from the termial and not
have to switch to the finder.
In the process, I discoverd that there is a -f option to open that we
will
find useful.
An example but not too usefull.
man say | open -f
This command will create a manual for the "say" command and then open
that
manual in textedit (or perhaps your preferred text editor ).
Have fun with this,
Jon
