changing volume at the speakup level

[Kerry Hoath]

no no no; you don't use pico on the files in /proc
because it does silly line wrapping and other rubbish.
Simply do the following:

cd /proc/speakup
echo 7 >volume
or simply do
echo 7 >/proc/speakup/volume


We put these in .bash_profile to set spech characteristics at login.
