boosting responsiveness of accent pc

[Ralph W. Reid]

Ah, it looks like it might be the way punctuation or more likely, the
way syllable sound interactions are managed then.  I'm not sure what
changes could be made to speed things up--perhaps moving sound and
syllable management from either hardware to software or from software
to hardware could make a difference, but the proper adjustments are
beyond me at this point.  For now, the Accent card works for me
anyway.

Have a _great_ day!
