You first need to read the manual and then maybe do control-h k for all the
keys.  But to do rate do

Control-e d 8 for speed eight.

Subject: Re: Emacspeak on Mac

How do I find out what directory it is talking about? I have seen no
indication of it telling me.
Also , how do I increase the speech rate? I tried changing the value in the
'default mac speech rate'  field of customize without any visible effect. I
know the -q flag prevents me from saving but it didnt change my current
buffer either after hitting state, set.

Thanks in advance,
Florian
