Sorry for what amounts to a real newby question, but how does one actually get this programme to read a text file? I’ve got to the list of articles on disk, and can select them with the arrow keys. Once I do that, though, silence. I’ve tried moving the cursor around with the arrows, but hear nothing. I went into review mode to see if for some reason there was text on the screen which Echo hadn’t spoken. Nothing. What am I missing here? I know there’s an “about apple talk reader” file on many of the disks, but at this point, I would need to use Apple Talk Reader to read it! I honestly can’t remember at all how I used to read text files on the 2 e; I know it wasn’t Apple Talk Reader because I never had any issues of this magazine, though I remember being a bit curious about it. Might have used BEX actually.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='color:black'>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>_______________________________________________<br>BlindApple mailing list<br><a href="mailto:BlindApple@bluegrasspals.com">BlindApple@bluegrasspals.com</a><br><a href="http://jaybird.no-ip.info/mailman/listinfo/blindapple">http://jaybird.no-ip.info/mailman/listinfo/blindapple</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>_______________________________________________<br>BlindApple mailing list<br><a href="mailto:BlindApple@bluegrasspals.com">BlindApple@bluegrasspals.com</a><br><a href="http://jaybird.no-ip.info/mailman/listinfo/blindapple">http://jaybird.no-ip.info/mailman/listinfo/blindapple</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
