	An external LiteTalk (ltlk) is all I'm using at the moment.  I 
haven't really played around with the software synthesizer as yet, 
because it's so slow in Orca on my system.  I'm running about as 
standard as "apt-get install" gets, beyond running speakupconf in 
/etc/rc.local and appending the speakup boot parameter in grub's 
menu.lst file.

	As stated in a previous post, the "more" pager problem is pretty 
easy to reproduce.  As root in one console, run:

# apt-cache search editor | more

	Mark and cut a package name, switch to another console, and as 
root, start running"

# aptitude show <pasted-packagename> | more

...and after a few cuts and pastes, the problem should appear The first 
console will have the wrong text, or text from the second console will 
bleed over into the first console.  I don't know if the problem lies 
with the 'more' pager, or with SpeakUP.  I can only hear what SpeakUP is 
telling me without sighted assistance.  HTH,

				Michael
