Hi All.

I am planning to write a User Guide for Speakup.  In order to do this, I
need to know some information which I haven't found at this point of
time.The document that I am planning to write isn't on installing, updating,
running the CVS, etc.  Its whole focus is on how to use the commands within
Speakup.

1.  What do the different punctuation numbers mean?  EG:  What 4 means when
you change the read punctuation.
2.  In some DOS and window screen readers, it is possible to set-up a window
to monitor a spefic area of the screen.  This window would have several
properties associated with it.  That is, silent (don't speak anything),
Speak when x colour is seen, speak when text change, etc.  Is this possible
in speakup?
3.  If you use the shift + pageup command to scroll your console back a
screen, I don't find that Speakup is reading that new information.  I only
am seeing the information that is visible.
4.  How do you make settings become your defaults?  EG: speech rate,
punctuation, etc?

I am only in the early stages of this proposed project, so any help would be
welcomed.  I will be searching the archieves to gain information.   If I
cannot find the information their, then I will of course ask the experts on
this lists.
