Re: FVWM: Fvwm2 Audio ?

To use rsynth, you use the command 'say'. From a xterm if you
use "say Mission accomplished", it will pronounce it correctly
with no quotes at all. If I try say _ it will pronunce the
word "underscore".
It works pretty well, except I can't get it to work with fvwm2.
Any other ideas ?
This is a sample of my fvwm audio, do you see anything wrong here ?
It will pronounce all these words in a xterm shell.

# FvwmAudio
#
*FvwmAudioPlayCmd /usr/bin/say
*FvwmAudio startup '"Welcome to Ray's Linux Machine !"'
*FvwmAudio shutdown '"I am shutting down now !"'
*FvwmAudio unknown '"goofed up"'
*FvwmAudio destroy_window '"destroy window'"
*FvwmAudio iconify '"lower window"'
*FvwmAudio deiconify '"open window"'
*FvwmAudio add_window '"Add new window now !"'
*FvwmAudio toggle_paging '"toggle paging"'
*FvwmAudioDelay 3
*FvwmAudio focus_change '"focus window"'
*FvwmAudio raise_window '"Raise window"'
*FvwmAudio lower_window '"Lower window"'

    A> how is an underline pronounced by "say" ?

    A> id est: can you say Mission_accomplished ?


    A> BTW: I think it's a bug. A quoted parameter to FvwmAudion should be treated

    A> Maybe someone has a "These were the times.au" file?
    A> It's possible in unix, so it should be possible to play it.
