Hi All,

Okay, I said a couple of the phrases in the calibration setup and I heard a 
sound.  So I'm guessing this should work now?  I redefined the key again, now 
it's Command Escape.  I hold it down for about a second and speak, "What time 
is it."  I hear no response from the computer.  Now what?
