making speakup settings stick

Hi, David:
I think there are a couple of solutions floating around for this. My own
is really quite simple:
1.) I create /etc/speakup
2.) For each synth I have, I create the appropriate subdirectory,
e.g. for my internal Doubletalk ISA card I create /etc/speakup/dtlk
3.) I copy the files that make the settings I want from
/proc/speakup into that directory. Note that I need only take those
where my settings will be different from the default. rate is one such
for me.
4.) Now the magic. In /etc/rc.local--or perhaps in
$HOME/.bash_profile--I have the following entry:
cp -r /etc/speakup/`cat /proc/speakup/synth_name`/* /proc/speakup/
Of course, this can also go in a script or alias for use on the fly.
