Hey Tim, Thanks so much for this really good write-up and org file. this explains a lot. It also shows me how much more I need to learn about getting the most out of emacs and emacspeak. You must have spent considerable time documenting the thing. I think I would have to get used to reading literal style programming though. I definitely like comments in programs but I'm afraid I could drown in documentation while tracking down some code. I could get used to it though. This concept reminds me of perl with its perlpod insertions and I believe python has something similar but not sure. Again, thanks for sharing this setup. I will be picking over this file over time and see what I can push into my own environment. It will be a work in progress for sure.
