you need to look at the script that josh wrote to understand this.   
Often, what we currently do is pass stuff to the os either the tts or  
another part of the os to achieve what we desire.

David,

Can you explain how to get Apple script to interact with Voiceover to  
do even the simplest thing like say a string of text?  I know that you  
can use Apple Script to interact with the tts engine, but I don't hink  
that it is possible with VO.
