saving rate

[Janina Sajka]

Yes, this will work very well, Igor.

I started with this kind of alias too. But I soon discovered that I might want to reset my punctuation level, and my
default voice. And, as you suggest, I do have several synths that I might happen to be using.

The quotes are important, I think. I have never tried without them, in any case. I think of them as identifying a single
entity in the alias--all of the params to the right of the equals sign.
