(With spaces between words, the stress falls on the penultimate syllable by default, and does not have to be indicated.) Without stress indication the speech stream could be parsed in more than one way. It would also be nice to allow for words to be denoted - perhaps a flat line on the baseline. That way the pen does not have to be lifted, but the letters would be grouped. That might also solve the stress denotation problem. -- Bruce Webber brucewebber@fastmail.us http://www.mountainvision.net
