Problem with Capital Letters with CVS Speakup

[John covici]

You might want to get your synth back to standard settings before
using speakup -- and someone correct me if I am wrong -- turn the
synth off and type a few characters so speakup gets a time out and
then turn the synth back on and hit insert-keypad enter and see if
that helps at all.  The intro character is the one which introduces
all doubletalk commands control-a I think.
