May I suggest doing this with an /etc/speakup directory tree, with a
subdirectory for any synth the user might have? I have been keeping my
preferred settings for the several synths I use from time to time in
just this manner. This has proven very useful particularly on my
Thinkpad, where I am most likely to use a variety of synths. I set an
alias that allows me to restore these settings whenever I wish.


Thanks to Saqib for pointing me to the following cool code snipet to do
this:

cp -r /etc/speakup/`cat /proc/speakup/synth`/* /proc/speakup
