OT: (NOT A JOKE) Be careful what you wish for....

[Richard Kreiss]

Outpost:

Although I ranted about technology in my previous e-mail, both this and the
previous one were created using Dragon NaturallySpeaking. No typing just
talking.

On the subject of FilePro, I was able to build a screen application which
permitted the use of Dragon NaturallySpeaking to input data.
The next thing I am going to try to do is use Dragon to write a program.
That should be an interesting exercise.
