What a great explanation of the Character Dictionary Feature. I'm saving that for my own use, thank you Very Much!

Define the characters you want spoken in the default character dictionary (char.chr). This file will be assumed unless you've associated another character dictionary with the program in focus. To do so, go to the Dictionary node and expand it. Cursor down twice to Character. Then Tab down to the original and replacement fields, entering your character and what you want spoken. Tab to the Update entry button and press the spacebar or enter. You'll land in the dictionary list on the entry you've just made. Tab back up and repeat the process as needed. Then don't forget to save (Ctrl-S) when you're finished. A shortcut to the dictionary node is to place your mouse pointer on the character you want to define, then hit Ctrl-Shift-E. When you select the character dictionary the character your mouse was on will be in the original entry field. 2. Under screen, punctuation, set math, miscellaneous, and textual to dictionary only. This will leave them all available in the event you decide to add any more characters in the future. And again, don't forget to save these changes. Any characters you've placed in your dictionary will be voiced.
