speakup and dialog

[Kirk Reiser]

It has been a long time since I did very much bash script programming
so I'm not sure of the current state of dialog.  The problem is that a
lot of curses based programs do not automatically use the show cursor
mode of ncurses so speakup has nothing to track.  You can either
explore dialog for a configuration setting to have the cursor shown or
use a package such as libnewt or whiptail which both have pretty good
show cursor modes.  My guess is however that dialog probably does have
a show cursor mode if you hunt for it.
