Thanks for the new highlight tracking!

[Adam Myrow]

I've gotten a chance to play with highlight tracking, and it is 
definitely worth the effort of building a 2.6.12.5 kernel.  I've always 
ignored the Midnight Commander before, but now, I feel I could actually 
make use of it.  It also works well in the Pilot file browser that comes 
with Pine.  Even if you don't use the "-g" flag to make the cursor appear 
where the file is, speech will still properly track where you are once 
highlight tracking is turned on.

Is there a way to get Speakup to read what text is highlighted at the 
moment?  For instance, it would be nice to know what file is highlighted 
without having to move up and down with the arrows.  Another place this 
would be handy is in the Aspell spelling checker.  Since that spelling 
checker is supposed to eventually replace Ispell, I've been trying to get 
used to it.  It isn't nearly as accessible as Ispell, however.  Ispell 
shows the unknown word at the top of the screen, then shows it in context. 
Aspell, on the other hand, shows the unknown word only in context, in 
reverse video.  By looking at the suggestions, and moving through the 
lines above, repeatedly pressing insert-period, I can eventually find the 
word in question since it is in reverse video, but this is a real pain in 
the rear.  It would be nice to have a keystroke which would read any 
highlighted text on the screen, so I could easily tell what word is being 
asked about.
