improving the speach output of Links the chain?

[Karen Lewellen]

hi tom,
I will search for that option.
I recall that there is a braille terminal option, as I am not a braille 
user I cannot speak to its function.  Still it may provide something 
comparative.  Also there is a block cursor  option too.
Frankly I need a list to ask questions as not everything is discussed in 
the users guide.
Thanks again,
Karen
