typing ascii chars above 127 with speakup

[Kerry Hoath]

The characters you see depend on your locail. Many programs do not
handle 8-bit stuff and are not 8-bit clean.
Your terminal and c library will also translate things so set
your LC_TYPE (check that) variable correctly.
You probably want iso8859-1 not Latin1.
