The '-x' is the switch for SAY to 'speak' a file instead of the immediate text 
after the command.

The switches for SAY are:

-x - to speak a file
-m - male voice
-f - female voice
-r - robot voice
-p## - pitch control
-s## - speed of talking control

I was messing around with this last night after I got the HTML page to work, 
to figure out what was most 'lifelike'.  But then again, maybe that's not 
the 'cool' voice to use.  I found that the pitch and speed controls can come 
up with some weird effects if adjusted wrong.  I believe there are some tools 
on Aminet to allow more realistic effects, probably won't get a chance to play 
with that until the weekend.

The robot voice appears to be the weirdest, probably what I will use, it 
sounds like our friend Tele-CIRC, the robot voice that calls you from the 
Seattle Public Library when you have an overdue book or a book being held at a 
branch for pickup.  I wonder if TeleCIRC is an Amiga . . . .
