Thank you,

I’m not actually inputing any text file; I’m writing something like this:
beep
delay 0.5
say “You have a new message.” Using “Will”

My goal is to have this be an audio file that I can use later.  On the last 
line would I type -o will.aiff

I’ve been reading documentation, but much to my annoyance, I’m still doing 
something wrong.

Thanks for the help,
Traci
