First off, let me say that I've been looking at every book and topic under 
Jaws Help, and have also been to the FS page with the selection of new 
RealSpeak voices. Even so, I still need to ask these questions. Thanks.

I'm using Jaws 10. I'd like to install one or more voices from the RealSpeak 
Solo Direct page at the FS site, but I don't understand what I'm supposed to 
do.

When I click on the FTP link for a voice, I get a common download dialogue. 
Fine. First of all, do I want to run or save? if it's Run, what happens? And 
if it's Save I want, then in which folder of my hard drive should I place it 
?

And then, how do I actually install it and get it working?

I used to use Jaws 9, and I installed the old RealSpeak voices from the Jaws 
9 CD, and they all appeared in my Say All item on the Configuration Manager 
Settings menu, and I knew how to get a voice working as the default Say All 
voice or, if I preferred, to set it up so that if I pressed Alt key Insert 
down arrow instead of the regular Say All command, the voice would kick in. 
So I have that experience. But I can't figure out how to install one or more 
of the new voices. this.

I hope my question is clear. Thanks for any assistance.
