What is probably happening is that the cursor on the VAX is moving slowly and
the speech programs are reacting too quickly, thus missing it.  You might want
to try PROVOX as it seems to keep track of the cursor better than some.  While
the program isn't perfect, this seems to be one of its strengths.
