Today I learned how to get around the problem with the JAWS Dictionary Manager 
while using DECtalk Access32.  This speech synthesizer doesn't inform JAWS what 
language it is speaking.  Therefore, you must leave the combo box set to All 
Languages in order to have your entries spoken.  I would suspect that this 
problem may also occur with other older speech synthesizers.

I still don't have the punctuation problem straightened out, but FS is working 
with me to solve it.  Meanwhile, I'll just have to continue using the Global 
Adjustment dialog to change all the voices from Most Punctuation to Some 
Punctuation.  However, I would really like to have my JAWS Cursor punctuation 
set to All Punctuation so that I can examine things in detail when necessary.

  The 2 bugs I reported in Beta 1 don't seem to be fixed in Beta 2.  I still 
can't use the Individual Voice Adjustment dialog to set punctuation for the 
individual voices.  I still have to use the Global Voice Adjustment dialog if I 
want to change from the default punctuation level.

  The JAWS Dictionary still doesn't list all of the speech synthesizers that 
JAWS supports.  The result is that if I use one of the unlisted synthesizers, 
such as DECtalk Access32, the exceptions I entered are not spoken.  This is 
true even when I leave the selection on All Synthesizers.

  Very disappointing!  I like the addition of the Tandem feature, but I do wish 
they would fix the features they broke.  I read through the list of fixes, and 
it seemed rather small.
