 WS> Eric, echo off shuts up speech during batch files.  What else 
 WS> does your utility do?

Walter,
     Let me give you an example of how I use Eric's program.
     ECHO OFF doesn't shut up speech produced by the applications the
batch file calls, it only silences the commands themselves.  One of the
batch files I run daily calls up several programs that do things like
summarize my board's log, update the download and upload record lists I
keep, etc.  Some of these applications I want to hear the output from as
it occurs, and others I just want to do their thing and I can read the
files they are updating at my convenience.
     Well, by using SPCTL in the batch file, I can completely shut off
speech when an application I don't want to hear is occuring, and toggle
it back on to hear those things I do want to hear.  Thus by simply
typing in the word "logread" I can perform about 7 different operations,
listening to only what I want to, and play on the floor with Strider
while it is all happening!
                                                        Willie
