Speaking of BASIC
If you've got a Terminal Emulator cartridge and speech synthesizer you can have your programs listed via the computer's "voice." We don't recommend this for long programs, but if you've been locked up in a cabin in the out-back for months and miss the sound of a human-like voice, this may be of interest. This hint comes from the Rocky Mountain 99ers group in Littleton, Colorado.
::1-Install speech synthesizer and Terminal Emulator II.::2-Load program in BASIC.::3-Type in LIST "SPEECH".::4-Listen closely.
Be warned, however, that once you start this routine the computer will go on talking until it has finished the program. The Los Angeles 99ers Computer Group says you may run only selected portions of the program by adding a colon followed by the line number you want it to start with, a dash, and the line number you'd like it to stop talking. This is the same technique used to list programs to the screen or printer. Failing this, if you get the TEII started on a long program, the only way to get out of it is to turn the computer off.
