trouble with CVS and a request for votes

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi Chuck,

If this is more of a problem with how a programmmer codes
their particular editor as opposed to how
speakup reads cursor movements, then I'll relent
and say 1.0.
Is there a particuar factor anyway that would
make speakup speak cursor movements in one editing enviornment, and not another?
Greg
