The cut keystrokes both mark the beginning and end of the text, and you 
navigate round the screen with either the number key on the numeric 
keypad for the desktop layout, or the Capslock or insert keys, plus the 
uio jkl and m,. keys, simulating the numeric keypad on the laptop.

	Speakup has a decent menu screen you can cursor up and down in, 
or hit the spacebar to leave, and you can call it up by pressing 
Capslock or Insert and F1.  Other controls can be set by echoing 
variables into the /sys/accessibility/speakup directory contents, for 
instance:

echo "0" > /sys/accessibility/speakup/soft/vol

...will turn the volume all the way down, and is good for setting up 
some programs from a script, to have speakup act the way you like when 
you run a particular program.

	A program called "speakupconf" is included in the speakup-tools 
package and will allow you to save default settings.  Root's 
configuration is saved in the /etc/speakup directory and can be loaded 
at boot time from usually the /etc/rc.local script.  'man speakupconf' 
for nore info.

	There is another program, I believe, called "talkwith" that 
allows you to change synthesizers on the fly if you also have a hardware 
synthesizer and don't wish to use the software synth.  HTH,
