The code does what you tell it to. It puts the +++ string
before the output and following the EOF. I was thinking of
having:
+++
15 lines of text
+++
After espeak speaks these lines, the user hits the spacebar and
another
+++
15 lines
+++
until EOF. I know zero ruby and am still learhnning python.
Thanks much for getting me going with ruby! FRom here on it is
