Hi Thomas,
I'm not sure how the dos screen readers actually worked, but I know that when I
was writing games in Quick Basic 4.5 or PDS7 I could print text on the screen
that the dos screen reader would not automatically speak. Or I could print to
the screen and console and the text would be automatically spoken by the dos
screen reader. To do that you would do
open "o", #1, "con"
And then
print #1,"hello"
So that would be spoken automatically.
but if you just did
print "hello"
That would not be spoken automatically.
Now all print in GW Basic would be spoken automatically.
And one thing that I really liked in dos basic was the locate function. You
could locate and print any where that you wanted to on the screen. And again
have it spoken automatically or not. But it was all there on the screen and
available with the review cursor.
BFN

I like Visual Basic 6.0 because I can not C.
