Hi, I absolutely agree on this.  Although life is somewhat hectic for me at 
present, I do try and review the list regularly, and so if any of you do have 
problems which are unresolved, I will tray and help out.  Also, you're welcome 
to write off list and I will  answer asap.


Regards

Donna

  Hello all:
  Well, let me respond here, since I was the one who asked this question to 
begin with. I appreciate the people who were kind enough to simply answer my 
question and quickly send me in the right direction. For example, in this 
situation I did downlaod the beta update. I have avoided doing that in the 
past. So, I was quite unfamiliar with betas.

  Those who have taken the time to read all the documentation and to become 
expert at the Book Port you might wish to be think of yourselves as helpful 
"Book Port buddies" instead of giving out sour grapes to other people.

  It has taken me a good deal of time to become familiar with the Book Port. 
There are so many key combinations for doing lots of different things. Reading 
the manual often gets confusing and difficult to remember. Someone on the 
listserv recommended going to appendix A to review these items. That was a 
great suggestion for me. I review it frequently so I don't forget all those key 
options.

  Additionally, many people commented on the listserv about using the 
DoubleTalk voices and how much they like them. This conversation helped get me 
over the hurdle. So now I too love using Precise Pete for all of my reading. I 
have found the speaking rate and pitch that are best for me. Without the help 
of the listserv I would still feel lost and uncomforatable with my Book Port.

  The best thing about a listserv is that there should be no questions 
considered too dumb to ask. I have appreciated all of the help that I get from 
this listserv. I want to feel welcome in asking and interacting on the Book 
Port listserv.

  Jim Nuttall
