have not had them printed to the screen, only spoken. Also, I can do that at
the end, however you wouldn't see all the text, I had to make it clear the
screen twice through the program because it would overflow the screen. The
apple will scroll down if I didn't do that, and you wouldn't see all the text
either. I can work on making that program use paging though, where at the end
of every screen, you're asked to hit a key to continue.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
