Don't think mine does, will have another look.
I guess the prefs menu is fine then... And now that ktb files are
supported it gives me another option.

Although the script would be nice, the prefs menu should do the job
fine.

My plan was to have a script called 'lynx' linked to the lynx binary,
but first it would start speech. upon exit it would kill speech. (Since
I don't like speech except for web browsing), although I still wanted
the driver to be loaded so I could do a quick say line if I wanted.

But it's fine, I'll stick to the prefs menu.

Good point

Yes although it is a command line, and that perhaps is over kill, but
I'm sure I can handle opening the prefs menu, or using my numpad.

Cheers,
Daniel.
