Hello listers,
In a previous post, I asked how to get Eloquence to speak in a DOS window.
David Poehlman offered some suggestions to fix the problem, and thanks to
his help, I found the solution. Here's what I did:
I found a "MS-DOS.JCF" config file in the JAWS50/settings/enu directory and
opened it. Then I went to File/open default. Then I went to User
Settings/Advanced, where I found a "Use DOS screen-reader when in a DOS
window"check box which was checked. I unchecked it, and saved the change.
Now when I open a DOS window, Eloquence reads the screen.
Having that check box checked meant that JFW was trying to let JFD do the
talking, but since I no longer have a hardware synthesizer on that machine,
it couldn't talk.
One thing for sure, using Eloquence instead of a hardware synth sure does
slow down responsiveness in a DOS window. The key-echo is quite sluggish.
Regards,
Alan Clendinen

Hello listers,
Where is the option found in JFW 5.0.844 which tells JFW to use eloquence
when you open a DOS window? I'm having to do without a hardware synthesizer
on one of my computers, and I'll be darned if I can find an option for this
anywhere in the JFW settings or any of the JFW utilities.
Since I'm on digest mode, please send a reply to:
