Hi Alex, This is great info! I think I'm missing a step, perhaps I've been hacking around too long and I'm suffering from Information Overload. I went into System preferences and made certain Speakable Items were turned on. But I'm unable to find the subsequent dialogs you spoke of. Can you help? Thanks.
