Dectalk Linux Question

[Hart Larry]

Hi Jacob-and-All:  Since early October I have been in linux with a Dec-Talk-Pc.
And while I am neither a linux expert nor a techy, I have some observations.
First of all, even if I up or down arrow to new text, it will not shutup.  If I
hit controll during the first 1 second of speech, it will stop, but if I wait
beyond that, I seem to need a large sledge hammer to stop speech.
Since I like to cursor alot, this sluggish behavior is quite frustrating.
