i am putting my /bin/sh script into gtk a`short program to
help the speech impaired or mute. i posted my script last
month to show how with espeak -f <textfile>. i'll use gvim
or kate because of the abbrfev feature. my last question
is: is there any way of ending textfile1 with one keystroke
unstead of the standard "ECS:x[<enter>]" --yeah, i've got
the src, but i'd rather not.
